Here's one for you:

What if you applied the patch, and see the correct time (and note that it
says "Eastern Daylight Time" on the date/time applet) and then reboot?

I find the time displayed is 1hr off (backwards, so it's supposed to be
1:30, but displays 12:30).

So I go back into the Date/Time applet, and find that it says "Eastern
Standard Time". Then I hit the Time Zone tab and change to another
timezone, and back immediately to Eastern. I make sure the Daylight
checkbox is checked. Hit Apply, and the time display correctly again,
until the next reboot.

_After_ you do the above and enter the correct time open a command prompt
and issue:

w32tm /resync /rediscover

What happens?

Just rebooted (had the correct time displayed as a result of doing the time
zone re-application I wrote about. It shows the time as 10:44 (an hour
earlier than it should be). If I issue the command you said, w32tm /resync
/rediscover , it says "Sending resync command to local computer... The
command completed seuccessfully." Yet, the time displayed is still an hour
back.

If I do:
c:\w32tm /tz, I get:
Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_STANDARD Bias: 300min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias)
[Standard Name:"Eastern Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:10 D:5 DoW:0)]
[Daylight Name:"Eastern Daylight Time" Bias:-60min Date:(M:4 D:1 DoW:0)]
(this almost looks like the rule is set for month 4, day 1 (so April 1--the
old rule)

If I do:
c:\w32tm /monitor, I get:
trcdc01.trc.CW.LOCAL [120.0.0.151]:
ICMP: 0ms delay.
NTP: +0.0192818s offset from trcdc02.trc.CW.LOCAL
RefID: trcdc02.trc.CW.LOCAL [120.0.0.158]
trcdc02.trc.CW.LOCAL *** PDC *** [120.0.0.158]:
ICMP: 0ms delay.
NTP: +0.0000000s offset from trcdc02.trc.CW.LOCAL
RefID: shlroot01.cw.local [10.7.226.125]

Opening tzedit shows the correct rules (Daylight Saving Time Start date/time
Second Sunday of March at 2a, end at First Sunday November at 2a).

Let me know if this helps you out... or if there's anythign else I should be
looking at.

Thanks

Ken
