preventing users from changing time on the workstations

Hi all,

I have 2000 server and xp workstations. I want to prevent users
from changing time on their computer. I don't want to delete or rename
TIME/DATE file. To achiece this goal
1)I put all the users in a OU and created a GPO for that OU.
2) I went in EDIT tab of this group policy.
3) go in COMPUTER CONFIGURATION---WINDOWS SETTING----SECURITY
SETTING----LOCAL POLICIES---USER RIGHTS----
4) DOUBLE CLICK "change the system time". Added domain administrator
to it. Since I only want administrator to be able to change time even
on the workstations.

But this is not working. Any one has any idea of what the problem is.
HELP HELP.

Thanks

Rita

When setting a computer config in the GPO it will only apply to computers in
that container (OU). The same applies to users.
You need to put the computers in the OU rather than the compters and it
should work.
