Use regedt32.exe and check the security settings on:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation

After running the tzedit tool without any problem, when I tried to go into the date/time in control panel I got ""You do not have the proper privilege level to change the system time." I was logged on as the administrator at the time who should have all the privileges needed to do something so simple.

I tried that exhaustive 19 page bit too on KB914387 and got the same result.

In secpol.msc I can see where the "Change system time" is granted to the "Power users" and the power users group doesn't even have anyone in it. I then added the administrators to the power users group, which still didn't solve the problem.

I also tried adding administrator to the "change system time" and that didn't do it either.

I've got to find a solution to this problem. Does anyone know what I can do? This is happening on one of my W2K servers as well, and I put a post in that group yesterday and still haven't gotten any replies. I'm hoping someone knows what I can do because I don't think Microsoft will support W2K.
