What you might not know is that M$ is charging 4K$ for the fixes to OS’s in extended support.
ie 2000/2000server/2000 Pro etc.
Here are two fixes I found (there maybe more)for the DST change that will not cost you the 4K$ that M$ is asking for those OS?s that are in extended support.
1) Down Load the free fix from.
http://www.intelliadmin.com/Daylight%20Saving%20Fix%20Download.asp
It fixes 98/ME & NT/2000/XP/2003. The 9x/ME & NT/2000/XP/2003 systems are separate downloads.
2) Download the M$ “resource kit” for your version of windows.
You must install the microsoft resource kit using admin privileges.
Note: some RK versions of NT were missing the “timeszone.exe” utility. see… http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194364
Startup the resource kit shell(cmd) program as an administrator. (The icon has the proper path specified.)
Accessible from within that shell(cmd), there will be a utility called “timezone.exe”
For example On XP..
Typing “timezone /g” will retrieve the current daylight saving settings.. displaying something like this..
Current Timezone is :
Daylight Saving Time begins at 02:0:1:04
Daylight Saving Time ends at 02:0:5:10
To make change the start of daylight savings time to the second(2) sunday in march and have it end on the 1st sunday in november type in
“timezone /s 02:0:2:03 02:0:5:11”
You may need to then reboot to get the fix to ?take?.
