I have a group of computers that I wish to keep synchronized with our internal time server. I tried using the built in feature with XP but that didn't work. I don't think that has ever worked. So I start looking around the net for a piece of software. After some searching I found http://sourceforge.net/projects/nettime/]nettime.[/URL]

The program works great if the local Windows user is an Administrator. However, the group of machines in question all log in as a limited user. This has to be done in order for our security software to work properly.

The nettime service will not start when Windows is logged in with a limited user. Another thing I found out is a limited user doesn't have the necessary rights to change the system time. GAH!!!

Does anyone know of a way to keep the local system time synchronized while using a limited Windows user?
