  1. Re:The fix on Unofficial Win2K Daylight Saving Time Fix · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I don't think this will work. Microsoft calculates changes in DST as a change in offset to GMT. It will query NTP for GMT.

  2. Microsoft did release a fix for Win2K... on Unofficial Win2K Daylight Saving Time Fix · · Score: 1

    Microsoft published a registry fix for this problem here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387/en-us They also have a full page devoted to their products here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007. mspx. Don't forget your Windows mobile phones. For a good list of these and other vendor's fixes, checkout this article: http://www.edgeblog.net/2007/daylight-saving-time- the-year-2007-problem While registry fixes aren't perfect, they do work. At least Microsoft has been upfront about the problem. It has been much harder to find fixes/patches from Sun, Cisco, Oracle, etc. Complaining that Microsoft did not release a patch for an out-of-support product, is like getting mad at RedHat for not patching version 7. All vendors end support eventually. And, don't even think of asking for a fix from your PBX vendor, your time clock vendor, or your cell phone carrier. They'll just tell you to manually set it. My microwave blinks 12:00, but it least it will still be right twice a day...
