My users have the wrong time I have create a script net time \\domain /set /y

but it will not sync time. I think it is because they do not have privalage
to change time . Do I change the privalgae and if so how? or is there another
trick to get a no rights user to sync?

Users machines should be syncing their time automatically with a DC in their
local domain. Try going to one of the workstations with the problem and type
w32tm /resync at the command line. If that doesn't work try w32tm /resync
/rediscover

This w32tm /resync /rediscover command only works with XP client when I try
it on windows 2000 client I get the following:

w32tm [ -tz | -s [computer] | -adj | -adjoff | -source | -once ]
[-test] [-v] [-p <port>] [-period <freq>]

Primary options:
-tz print the local time zone info and exit.
-s [<computer>] force the given computer (or the local computer if
none is given) to resynchronize, then exit.
-adj set the computer's system clock frequency to the last
frequency determined during synchronization, then exit.
-adjoff set the computer's system clock frequency the system
default, then exit
-source choose a synchronization source, then exit. Note that a
source is chosen before each synchronization, so this is
useful only in showing that a source could be found.
Remember to use -v to see the output.
-once do only one synchronization, then exit.
Otherwise, run continuously as a client, synchronizing the local
clock until ctrl-c is pressed.

The program will also run as a server any time the service
would (when it is on a DC, or when the registry flag is set).

The following options can be used in conjunction with the above:
-test prevent the time on the local system from actually
being modified.
-v print out a verbose description of what the program is
doing. This is usually needed since otherwise the
program produces no output. The exceptions are -s and -tz.
-p <port> set the server port.
-period <freq> set the sync period just as in the registry. That is:
0 == once a day
65535 == once every 2 days
65534 == once every 3 days
65533 == once every week (7 days)
65532 == once every 45 min until we get 3 good syncs, then
once every 8 hrs (3/day)
65531 == once every 45 min until we get 1 good sync, then
once every day
Otherwise, <freq> times per day.

Try w32tm -s on the Win2k machines.

If you are in an AD domain you shouldn't have to worry about this. Your
computers will automatically sync up with your PDC.
