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\TimeZoneInformation
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\TimeZoneInformation "
