If anyone cares, I answered my own question. Using a CSV of server names
and Excel to expedite creating a batch file, the command I used was a
follows:

PSEXEC \\<servername> -u <domain\ID> -p <password> w32tm /tz >>
I:\<servername>

 

That's really down and dirty but I scanned 100 systems in about 3
minutes after 15 mins of making the .CMD file. While this creates a lot
of files (one for each server), you can combine them into one file
however you want (just dumping to one file off that bat gives you no
server name to match to scan result). Since I had only a few dozen
systems, I simply enabled the taskbar option "group similar icons",
opened 50 at a whack, and when I came across a non-conformist system I
did "Save As" and dumped the file into another folder which, when done,
contains all the exceptions.

 

The beauty is it bypasses all the DST patch checking and tells you the
*actual* server settings.

 

I'm sure a little tweaking and you can get a single .CSV (echo the
server name into the file before running the w32tm check, add in a <CR>
for readability) and save even more time, but I digress...

PS If you don't test the credentials first and the password is
incorrect, you'll lock out the account in the batch file...

Subject: Scan for DST

 

Anyone know how to scan a network for systems not handling the DST
correctly? Something like w32tm /tz against a list of systems? Since MS
has released numerous DST patches (Febraury '07 was 931836, Aug was
933360, Dec was 942763) a scan for 931836 or later should also work. I'm
sure 98% of my systems are compliant, but I'll get hammered for those
other 2% if I don't make a concerted effort here..
