We successfully updated several hundred hosts this way.

Indeed. Some assumptions were made.

With your reg, you need to *switch* timezone to something different and
flip it back to Jerusalem (just ticking the "Adjust for DLT" is not
enough). Otherwise, if workstation had DLT settings from previous year,
the DLT start and DLT end info will not be refreshed at HKLM\System
\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation (I had a server who's
owner did the reg thing and ended up with inconsistent settings - he did
have DLT settings from 2004 even after merging a reg just like yours).

It's not about who's solution is better. 
This is just an FYI that you might run into issues with your current solution.
Adding instruction to "switch TZ back and forth" after merging the reg 
would save you some grief. 

Cheers,
Guy
