Question : Enable ability to change system clock on clinet pc, windows 2003 server domain

Im gonna try this agian I have asked this but never could get it to work.

I THOUGHT I wanted to remove the ability to allow users to change the date and time on their cliet PC's.  I removed the ability, but since then it has been nothing but issues and we just need to allow them to do this.

I FORGOT WHERE AND HOW I did this.

Server 2003 as a PDC in a domain
Client is XP PRO with SP2

Please list ANY AND ALL places, i.e. Policies on the server and policies on the cliente pc...
That could cause this to be disabled so I can fix it.

Im new to this so you may need to REMIND me how to get to where I need to go.

Thanks

According to this article, you must grant the Change system time user right, AND then add the following permissions on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation registry key.
They say this is by design.  So...  On the client machine...

1.  Log in as administrator (or remotely mange the registry from your computer)
2.  Browse to the registry key above, right click on TimeZoneInformation and choose permissions
3.  Add your user or users and click on apply
4.  Select the advanced button
5.  Uncheck inherit permissions from the parent, and then when asked, select copy.
6.  Under permission entries, select the user you added in step 3 and select edit
7.  Under allow, the user needs
• Query Value
• Set Value
• Create Subkey
• Enumerate Subkey
• Notify
• Read Control
8.  Select apply these permissions to objects and then okay your way out
9.  Close regedit
10. Log off admin and log in as user to test.
