Thanks Jeff, your post helped me by reminding as to when the day light saving is happening.

Busy updating *.* so to speak (Servers, Workstations, Apps etc) and your post pointed one thing out to me Jeff that I hadn't really noticed but checked anyway:-

The checkbox "Remind me one week before this change occurs" is checked on most of my Vista & Server 2008 Machines (Physical & Virtual) yet no reminder has happened which I presume should have happened Sunday 28th September.

Did you get a reminder?

Cheers,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

You know I didn't get a reminder either. Maybe it only reminds you if the machine doesn't have the DST patch? Not sure will have to investigate..

Tick Tock Jeff :)

None of the Server 08 GUI/Core or Vista machines gave the notification outlined above.

All Vista/Server08-GUI&Core/Server03/XP rolled over fine and none have popped up a message stating "Your Clock has been adjusted for daylight savings time etc etc..."

Will check server apps later today. :P

Cheers,

Stephen

I understand for client operating systems the changing of DST calendar can be a nightmare for tech support.

But for web based application there is no reason why they don't all sync to UTC. There are companies that have IT server systems with local time - THIS IS ASKING FOR TROUBLE.
