Just a heads up for everyone.. remember next year Daylight savings will
be in March so we'll all be patching and moving that daylight savings
impact.
I think the Treo's probably did the same OEM oops.:

Susan,
Not sure if this will help, but this KB
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909915) was posted as a part of
Microsoft's response to the DST extension in Australia for the
Commonwealth games. The package contains an EXE that can be scripted
that allows you to change (if not determine) what TimeZone the client is
in - I think. I only looked at it briefly before I discovered 912475.
FWIW...

Subject: [ActiveDir] Daylight savings query
(someone go pick Joe up off the floor after I post this.. I'm
actually asking about scripting)
Is there a script that can be run to determine what a computers time
zone status is? Some WMI status in AD or something? It seems like
everytime I get new computers in the office...the OEM image that we
don't nuke and pake means that they do not grab the "autotmatically
adjust" setting, even though it's checked, so they end up staying on
standard time rather than flipping to daylight savings and
thus causing
appointments to be off an hour.
Okay so the setting is under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneIn
formation
But the values under there are not jumping out at me as to
which one the
machine is broadcasting?
Is it "Daylight Bias" RegDword ffffffc4" ...as if I flip the
gui on and
off.. that value goes down to 0....
...wonder if I can group policy that reg key value....hmmmmmm
How to configure daylight saving time dates for Brazil:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317211
"Use a script to delete "DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet" from the
registry.
When deleted 'Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes'
in Windows will be checked.
The registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneIn
formation "
