IT Server problem

[Longy]

Just installed a new server with windowns 2003 SBS rc2. Everything is set up and working including exchange server etc but i'm having a simple problem that i can not get to the bottom of.

The regional settings on the server are all set to UK. The client PC's (xp pro) are all set to UK.

When I log the clients onto the domain the dates on all the clients are listed in USA order mm/dd/yy - this is causing problems with sage. (i've made the domain user a local admin aswell to make sure they can change the regional settings).

I've looked up every setting I can find but no go (probs missed something simple becuase its friday). I've been through all the GPO's and cant see anything in there.

What stupid thing am I missing?

short date DD/MM/YYYY

Sounds like it being set via policy. Does the same American date format appear if you logon to a client PC with the domain admin credentials?

Sorted - although the the UK was set on everything the short date was still wrong! (i'm very tired) i knew it was simple! just missed it cheers for the help anyway guys.

Make sure you take off local admin rights on the PC cause users are only good at doing one thing...breaking things that work perfectly.
