Windows 2000 and XP

[phishphreek]

As you are all aware, the DST2007 change took place yesterday.

With XP workstations, there was a patch that was applied.

With windows 2000, you had to modify the registry. I modified the windows registry on the 2k workstations as recoomended by microsoft with a start up script via active directory.

I went around and did "spot checks" usint "tzedit.exe" to verify that the workstation had the correct timezone information.

Exchange 2000 was a whole other story but that seems to be fine via workaround.

Today, users are calling saying that their time didn't change. I look at the workstation and the time zone is set correctly (GMT -5 Eastern Time US and Canada) and there is a check in Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes. However, the clock is off by one hour. This is happening on BOTH 2K AND XP workstations...

via command prompt, issue a net time and get this:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\teller02>net time
Current time at \\timesvr is 3/12/2007 8:45 AM

Local time (GMT-04:00) at \\timesvr is 3/12/2007 9:45 AM

The command completed successfully.

Where the hell is it getting the GMT -4?
The timesvr machine has the correct time and timezone...

If I change the time zone from GMT -5 Easter Time to GMT -5 Indiana Time and then back again... the time is correctly updated! I don't get it.
