"Local Policies User Rights Assignment" not applying

Question

I bought Dell Vostro series computer with a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OEM.
The OS cannot apply the changed User Rights Assignment in Local Policies.
Here is the step to re-produce the problem:
1. Launch "cmd"
2. Type "date 2014-06-20" in the command prompt. (i.e. try to change the date)
3. A error shown "A required privilege is not held by the client."
4. I go to "Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy".
5. I open "Local Policies > User Rights Assignment", and add "Everyone" to "Change the system time" and "Change the time zone"
6. Restart the computer
7. Launch "cmd" and type "date 2014-06-20", the same error message shown. That is, the policy is not applied.
Note: If I launch the cmd as administrator, no error will show.
I am not familiar with Local Security Policy and related and I tried to search online but not thing found (maybe I didn't know how to apply).
I would like to know how to resolve this problem from you. If you need more information like the log in Event Log, please tell me which one you need.
Thanks so much!

Hi,
I tested this issue, after adding everyone to the group you mentioned above, I can successfully change the system time as a standard user. and the format is date 06-20-2014
I suggest you logon as admin, and manually check the policy, see whether it has been updated.
