RAM REG EWF and Daylight Saving

[Mike Warren]

Hi,

All our machines which were keeping the correct time started gaining
one hour at each boot.

I don't need to use daylight saving so have done the following:

GetTimeZoneInformation(TZ)
TZ.Bias = 0
TZ.DaylightBias = 0
TZ.StandardBias = 0
SetTimeZoneInformation(TZ)

and then committed EWF.

This has fixed the problem but I would like to know from someone
who has more experience if this is ok or will this problem come back
and bite me in six months?

Mike,

You could have done this directly in registry.
Read about affected reg key.

In XPP disable daylight saving and then just set all values in XPe to
resemble these.

Regards,
Slobodan

PS:
If you do that you won't have problem after 6 months.
