Windows Time Server

[Xpose]

Hi All,

As most of you are aware changes to daylight savings times cause nightmares on networks.

The quick question i have is, on a network is there a way to force workstations to get the time from the time server and not worry about what the timezone is saying or what daylight savings patches are telling it to do?

what operating system are you running? In XP Pro (32 bit) when setting the clock up, there is an option to adjust automatically or not adjust automaticaly for daylight savings. other operating systems I don't know about

It is XP Pro 32bit

Basically some workstations have automatically changed which is fine and some are still showing an hour off.

What i am trying to do here is to get all workstations to look at the network time server as it should be.

It is more for the future as everytime daylight savings starts or finishes we always have a random amount of workstations that dont automatically update.

there is also an update because last year they changed the date of daylight savings. To get to the properties I think (I have a fancy clock so I have a slightly different set of steps to get to the mentioned place.) you have to right click on the clock, select properties and then go over to the timezone tab. at the bottom of the clock is "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes."
