RE: Group policy help

[<adisegna () siscocorp com>]

Peter,

Unfortunately I don't have an answer at this time. I have looked a few
places and have turned up nada. 

Net time doesn't adjust time zone settings from the domain controller.
It should.

First I exported the TimeZoneInformation registry key. Next, I unchecked
the Day Light Savings time and verified the changes on the clock (set
back one hour). Then deleted all the entries from the
TimeZoneInformation registry key. The original good configuration was
then imported back into the registry and client rebooted. Still no
update to the system clock! This is peculiar. 

Anyone have an answer?

P.S. I have only been testing this on an XP client.


Thanks

Arthur

Hi,

Thank you so much for your help.  In my test env. I
used this DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet to make the check
box checked for automatically ajust clock for daylight
saving changes.  But, the time is not changed until
you click "OK" to take effect even the check box is
checked.

Do you know how to automate this without clicking
"OK"?

Thanks again,

Peter
