Re: DST in 2007 part duex

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Changes pushed from Microsoft don't help when computers aren't connected to
the Internet, which is sometimes the case for critical equipment. I need the
change immediately following the next DST exit (October). Do you know of a
way to get something like this out of MS?

Most likely closer to the date...

Note that a recent timezone change for Australia was pushed out via Windows
Update/Microsoft Download Center. I'd expect the same for the US Time zone
change as we get closer to that date.

Hi, Chuck -
Is there a way to find out when the DST update patch will be available?
Thanks

You can usually download the patches from Microsoft. There is a patch set
intended for use by LAN administrators that is downloadable without
running
and installing the patch set. The LAN administrator then uses the patch
set
copy to patch PCs over the LAN or manually.

I have Windows-based products at several customer sites that are
time-critical (i.e.; they control TV broadcast devices). Because of
their
criticality, they are not exposed to the Internet and do not receive
Windows
updates. The changes to US time zone entry and exit dates need to be
made
shortly after the next exit (October 29, 2006). How can I get
patches/updates to my customers in this time frame? Can I get updates
for
NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003/XP-Pro?

Otherwise, if updates are not in time, does anyone know of a simple way
to
change existing entry/exit dates? (I can't find tzedit.exe on my PC -
does
it take admin priviledges?)
