Dear baldmonkey,
I run several LANs with me as the administrator and the students and staff as restricted users. All machines are running either Windows 2000 or XP.
As part of the students’ I.T courses they need to demonstrate being able to change the system time, however restricted users cannot do this - only administrators. I’ve tried tweaking every setting in Active Directory but to no avail.
Is there away of allowing restricted users to do this, as I don’t want the students to have admin rights?

I used to like that Turtle game. That was good. It was like etch-a-sketch. But etch-a-sketch is shit because it doesn’t use a computer. I tell you what is good; Lego. Some people moan about how the pieces are all too specialised these days. They prefer the old days when there were only a few different bricks and you had to work with those. Not me. I fucking love Lego. The more different bricks they have, the better. I especially like Star Wars Lego.
If we examine your problem more closely, you want some students to do something without the risk of them being pricks. Students are pricks. Whiny, know-it-all pricks who know nothing. They are easy to mug though and are often stupid enough to carry lots of cash and iPods.
The chances are none of them will need to change time in real life. I wouldn’t worry about it. Tell them to just do it in Notepad.
