03 DST issue [No internet time tab in time and date properties]

[cdiross]

We had virtually no issues updating DST, however recently we've run into an issue regarding a few DMZ servers. A couple of our proprietary programs run via web interface through the DMZ but the time is off by 1 hour, so it screws up batch production @ night. We manually went through and modified w32time to point specifically to a time server which is up to date properly. Some work but others don't. The ones that don't have no internet time tab. In order to work around I ran a command:

net time /setsntp:xxxxxxxxx. This runs fine. I then stop and restart w32time; which runs fine. But when I check it by entering the command net time, nothings changed. It's still an hour back. In regedt32 the key is updated with the right server to point to, but it won't update.

Any ideas?

A couple of things I can think of;
1. Are u sure the patch has been applied to the affected servers
2. Is there a firewall rule on the DMZ that does not allow for NTP to communicate with the affected hosts.
