Re: HELP unable to update for DST!!

Are You using Regedt32? Highlight the key then click on the Security | Permissions... Menu on top and verify that you have Read and Full control on the key. Also click on the Advanced button and highlight the proper user and click on the View/Edit button. Make sure that you have allowed permissions on all entries:

Query Value
Set Value
Create Subkey
Enumerate Subkeys
Notify
Create Link
Delete
Write DAC
Write Owner
Read Control

You can't do security with Regedit, you have to use Regedt32.

I've been in there looking at that, nothing comes to mind as being an obvious security setting. There's

(default) ActiveTimeBias Bias
DaylightBias
DaylightName
DaylightStart
StandardBias
StandardName
StandardStart

Which key is the security key?

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.
