Hi,
Your thin clients need to be updated with the correct time zone data. If Time Zone Redirection is enabled on the server, then the server pulls the time zone offsets, daylight savings start/end, descriptions, etc. from the client device (assuming the client device/software supports it).
In other words, the time zone data is redirected from the client to the server--if this data is incorrect, then the session's time will be incorrect as well.
I know you mentioned that the thin clients are automatically downloading the new DST configuration info, however, the evidence suggests that the they are supplying the old time zone data when they connect.
The behavior you see with clicking OK is to be expected. This resets the active time zone to the cooresponding data for the entry listed in the time zone dropdown. The data for this is pulled from the server's local time zone database, not the client's. Next time the user logs on, the time zone redirection feature resets the active time zone to the incorrect data originating from the client.
Do you have devices connecting from different time zones? If not, set "Allow Time Zone Redirection" to Disabled via Group Policy.
Thanks.

We have a group of users using Wyse thin clients to connect to our.
Terminal Server. I have configured the thin clients to download
their configuration automatically, which includes the new start and
end times for Daylight Savings Time and the time zone definitions of
"Central Standard Time" and "Central Daylight Time". The thin
clients are also getting their time automatically set from an
external time server. The time on the thin client shows as correct,
but when I log into our Terminal Server, the time is one hour off, so
instead of it showing 10am (correct), it shows 9am (incorrect). This
has the effect of messing up meeting times. (I've already run the
Exchange server tool to try and reset meeting times....DON'T get me
started on that. Sheesh!) The weird thing about the Terminal Server
problem, is that if I double-click the user's clock in the system
tray to open the Date/Time Control Panel, and then do nothing but
click OK, the clock updates to the correct time. However, if the
user logs off and back on, it's wrong again.
HELP!!!!!!!
