daylight savings ?? 1

[RDSKC]

Regarding changes to daylight savings, I have used tzedit.exe from MS to edit the appropriate time zones for FOH and BOH, but there is some questions as to whether this is all that is required. Do we need to edit the ini file to change timezone to international? I admit we're flying by the seat of our pants on this...

What is everyone else doing?

Thanks in advance

Here's a suggestion - download the Aloha DST utility from the following site:

Try that and let me know if it works.

Thank you, the first patch we tried from Aloha, didn't seem to work... We'll try this...

By using tzedit on the terminals and BOH, I assume we're good until they decide to make another change, because we're changing the windows registry.

If I understand correctly, The Radiant method only applies changes to the BOH registry, and then edits the .ini that gets sent to the FOH. So this doesn't actually change the registry on FOH, it merely changes how Aloha calculates the current time. Is this correct?

I believe that is correct. Were there any problems with the installation of those tools? We currently are using Aloha 6.0.7 and want to deploy those tools.

the link you provided worked in our lab, it was a later version thank the previous Radiant supplied patch. Using tzedit seems to work also, and I like the idea of actually fixing each terminal, as opposed to just patching the BOH and then making Aloha adjust it for the FOH.
