Re: DST 2007>Do we need to change anything if use an NTP server to syn

The DST change is all about what is displayed. You need to patch any machine that you care that the time is displayed properly on as well as any application servers that depend on localtime being correct.

Computers under the covers use UTC which doesn't use DST.

If you put this in a startup/logon script in a GPO, then you would do well to set up the script to set some marker on the machine that it has been updated so it will be skipped after that. There is no way to automatically do some runonce functionality within GPOs.

Do we need to apply of the Daylight Savings Time 2007 changes to our Win2k Advance servers (Only Domian controllers we have) & our XP & Win2kPro clients; if we use an NTP server to sync all servers & pc's?
If there is nothing we have to do, then you don't need to read further.


I read kb 914387 & created the three files TZupdate.reg, refreshTZinfo.vbs, and DST2007Update_Win2k.com I then created a test group policy to apply these.
The group policy works, but EVERY time I reboot my test pc; these new logon scripts run. Every time it takes at least 5 minutes for this to run. The users won't wait, they'll power down the pc's during the process; since its every reboot. If I have to go this route, is there anyway to run these new scripts just once per pc?

Or do you reccomend another way to push this out to our Win2k Advanced server, WinXP Pro, & Win2k Pro clients?

Thank you.
