Win 2K & DST

[deklin]

Is anyone aware of any Daylight Savings time issues with WIndows server 2000?

I have. I have a Windows 2000 server running terminal services with GroupWise 6.5.4 installed. All of the calendar dates are off by an hour despite installing all Windows patches. The GroupWise calendar is correct on all other workstations.

RSA2000, just curious here...but which patches did you use? M$ solutions or a third-party? We went with IntelliAdmin's DST patch and life was sweet.

I should have went with Intelliadmin's (which I ended up doing after the fact) in the first place. The M$ solution was s***. I am sure there is going to be some backlash for the lack of testing on MS behalf.

We are having the same issue with our W2K server and for some reason several of our Workstations are syncing to it which makes them behind and hour. These workstations may have been around when it was our Primary server. Last year we bought a new 2003 Server and demoted the 2k.
Where is this IntelliAdmin's patch? can't see to find it or don't know what I'm looking at.

TIA

..i wouldn't download some third party *.exe and run on your production servers..

i followed microsoft guide, create a registry backup, then copied their new one, make a registry file. double click, then enable the correct time zone.

Did this on all my win2000 adv servers sp4 and passed DST without a glitch. win2000 is no longer supported by Microsoft. and they charge you $4000 to do this? hehe

I used the link below and everything is working fine now.
I downloaded the TZEDIT to a network share and from each workstation I unzipped that file and edited the tzedit.
On monday, I found that it did not work as expected and all the workstations and the servers one hour late.
By the way, is working now and was thinking maybe the PDC
was taking some time to synchronise with the ntp server
