Is this Windows MCE SP2?



What method did you use to add time update permission to your limited

user account?



Does your unlimited user account work as desired?



There is a time synchronization Help and Support feature - is that

what you mean?



Do you mean the whole Internet Time tab is greyed out and accessible,

the Update Now button is greyed out, etc.



Unable to visualize with the information provided so far.

Using local security settings, I added Change System Time to the

limited user.

I will just pretend you are talking about XP Pro SP3.



Limited user accounts cannot change the time.



If you adjust the Local Security Policy and add that Limited user to

the Change the system time policy, they can change the time, but the

Internet Time tab of the Data and Time Properties dialog box are

unavailable (greyed out).



That is they way it works, but I believe there are some third party

programs to mimic the XP Internet Settings sync function so you could

install one of them and give your limited user the ability to run it

and it includes a time sync option. XP won't let you, but this other

program might.



Never tried it and can't experiment right now, but here is one I read

about from a Google search:

The account is called Limited for a reason.
