Daylight savings time question

C

CAMC1

All the servers in my local domain are set for new daylight savings time
schedule.

However, I would like to find a way that all workstations log on to domain
automatically set their time based on my active directory server time,
rather then changing all PCs individually. (May be a login script)

How do I do that?
Thanks

They are (or should) already do that.


The issue is NOT the "time" but the TIME ZONE, including

the Daylight Saving settings, which is about displaying the

time.

As long as the clock is ok and get the settings from domain, that is all I
need. Who cares if time zone is different as long as the clock is right?

Geneally you care -- because if he time zone is not correcting for DST
properly the actually correct Universal Time (aka GMT) will display
incorrectly and make appointments in Outlook etc fire at the "wrong"
time.

Typically someone will see the time looks wrong, think it is actually
wrong, and correct it by changing the local time -- at which point
you will be an hour off and Kerberos authentication will fail with the
DCs.
