Is there any DST change update available for Windows 2000 Server SP4 and Windows 2000 workstations? I see updates available for 2003/XP however, nothing for 2000 series.
 
Technome, thanks for the link! Some good stuff there :) A star to you!
 
The link would have to reside back to a Microsoft site before I would download and install any patches to my systems...
 
GVN, you're going to be waiting a long time, there is no "patch" from Microsoft for Win 2000 as it is out of general support, only security patches, unless you buy extended support ($4k I think)

However, Microsoft has provided instructions on how to update the registry using a variety of methods (scripts, TZEdit tool, etc)

Here is the MS info
 
What are the reg keys I need to look for to see if the change was successful. Thanks
 
The easiest check, IMHO, is to download the TZEDIT utility. You can view and/or correct time zones easily, without fooling with the registry. Works on most version of Windows.
 
BOBUS69,

Look for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones key and verify that there are plus signs beside the US time zones. If there are (Dynamic DST), then you're patched, if not, start over.

I'm Certifiable, not cert-ified.
It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.
