Time won't stay changed

Many computers set up to access a domain controller for log in, also acecss it perdiodically for a time syncronization. This is great in theory.....

You have to make sure your client workstations have the patch.

It seems wierd on the outside because although the client syncs with the server, and they both show the correct time, the registry information must match. I haven't found the technical reason, but make sure the client's and server's DST is set for second sunday of March and you will correct the issue.

I deployed it to my computers via group policy. KB article can be found here.

Or if your users have admin privileges, there is a tzmove.exe on Microsoft's site to customize your DST. Also any XP SP2 client can do automatic updates.

Hope this helps!

We had the same issue on some of our W2000 servers (not on 2003 as far as I know). We had changed the rgistry directly on some and used tzedit on others, but noticed the same thing you're seeing, the time didn't jump forward and when changed it would pop back.

Go into timezone settings (after doubleclicking clock) and uncheck "Automatically adjust etc etc", click apply. then select again and apply again. This fixed the issue on my servers (obviously as long as they're patched.
