With the change in date for DST this year, MS has put out a patch for XP, but for 2000 Pro unless you have an extended support contract which my company doesn’t have you can’t get it. My question is since the DST setting is part of the time zone setting on the local workstation, when March 11th rolls around and DST time starts, are my Windows 2000 PC’s that won’t have the correct date for DST to start adjust the time back an hour because they still think its standard time, or will they sync to the new time and just think thats the time for standard time. In the second case if they accept the new time on March 11th and are advanced by an hour, when the First Sunday in April rolls around and they think it has become DST will they advance an hour ahead of the server time.
I don’t have a test environment (yet) so I can’t test what will happen, and I would like to be able to plan for what will happen so that I can either try and get extended support for my 2000 pro workstations, or try and convince the accountants that we need to spend the money to get OS upgrades for half the pc’s in the company that are at 2000pro still.
thanks
