This has been discussed on the www.patchmanagement.org listserve as well and
has been a concern there too.
(The issue is this is not seen as a security patch and 2k machines only get
security patches, thus the daylight fix patches are only being released for
XP/2k3, and not 2k)
There are also issues with Exchange/OWA and those patches for supported
versions of Exchange (my understanding) will be mu'd/wsus out later.
I know for a fact that once when I had a machine that had the "auto change
for daylight savings" unchecked when it should have been checked.. regardless
of it's sync status with the server, for a few days after daylight savings,
that machine saw everyone else's calendar an hour off and visa versa.
There are scripts discussed on that listserve to get the 2k machines in line
and in the right sync'ing.

Hi Richard-
The time sync process is just going to set the actual time (think UTC) not
the timezone. If the client thinks it is GMT-5 then it will set the time
accordingly.
Given the rochester.rr address - U of R or RIT?
Thanks,

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Sorta... AD and the 3/07 Time Change
This question addresses the March'07 Dailylight Saving's time change in
the US and Canada (has Mexico joined in?).
I work for an institute of higher learning where the policies (human, not
domain) get a little... unevenly suggested. So please grant me some leniency
as to why this question is even asked :)
Does belonging to a domain with properly configured time synchronization
lessen the concern for applying the XP patches as they relate to the March 2007
time change? Or the need to take special care with Windows 2000 workstations?
In other words, will AD sync the PC clock on Windows 2000 workstations to
the correct hour during next next March's "leap ahead"
Speaking of time: Happy New Year to Everyone!
Thank you.
Richard
