We have a few computers located in Arizona whose time keeps jumping one hour
ahead of where it is suppose to be. Arizona does not follow DST at all. Yet
when I go in and select the AZ time on the computer it is one hour a head of
what the time is suppose to be. The computer has all of the DST updates,
even though it doesn't really need them. The time zone data it says that
it's using is "US Mountin Standard Time" on the Date and Time Properties
window with the Arizona time zone selected.

My computer updates to the correct time when I select Arizona. I exported
the following registery key and imported it into the problem computer,
restarted the windows time service and still not luck.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones

Has anyone had any similar problems or has any other suggestions? Thanks.

In Control Panel => Date & Time => Time Zone tab, is the box
'Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes' unchecked?

If it is, you could try changing to another time zone, restart the
computer, change back to Mountain time, and restart again.
Also, have you tried changing the time in the BIOS, since Windows
initially gets its time from there?

If Arizona does not follow DST then, there should be no X in 'automatically
adjust for DST' in Time Zone.

For Arizona, there is no X to check.

I am not physically at the computer to check the bios time. However I am
going to have someone check that. Windows should initially pull the
information from the BIOS, but then it should check with the time server and
update it and go to the correct time. I have tested this setup. I set the
BIOS to a different time and windows pulls that time then adjusts. This
computer and about 20 others are not doing this. Strangely enough they are
all in AZ and they all started when the new DST took place in 2007.

I have noticed that this is a problem with all time zones, not just AZ.
Every time zone on the computer is one hour ahead of the correct time. This
has to be a BIOS issue I would think.

"US Mountin Standard Time" is not correct. Change it to "Arizona."

Double click the time in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Select
the time zone tab. There should be no X in 'automatically adjust for DST'.
BIOS not involved.

"US Mountin Standard Time" is not correct. Change it to "Arizona."

Good one, Ken. I never even noticed that existed.

Perhaps you don't live in Arizona. ;-)

actually Ken, on the date and time properties screen there are two tabs:
"Date and Time" and "Time Zone".
On the "Date and Time" tab you can select the date and set the time. At the
bottom it shows "Current Time Zone" for the computers that are having the
problem and for the computers that are working it is "US Mountain Standard
Time".
If you click on the "Time Zone" tab it displays the time zone as
"(GMT -07:00) Arizona".

If I were to select time zone "Eastern Time (US and Canad) and then go to
the "Date and Time" tab the "Current Time Zone:" reads Eastern Daylight
time.

If you look in the registry keys, on both the working and non-working
computers, there is no registry key for "Arizona" time zone, only "US
Mountin Standard Time".

Hello Randy,

"If you look in the registry keys, on both the working and non-
working
computers, there is no registry key for "Arizona" time zone, only "US
Mountin Standard Time"."

There are two keys to look at in the registry path you indicated:

Mountain Standard Time
US Mountain Standard Time

If you look in the right-hand pane for the second one, you will see
the "Arizona" Display identifier.

... and Yes, Ken, very far from that place.
