[Amir Saleem (Pakistan)]

Dear All,
As you already aware that in Pakistan GMT time change to +1 hour & it was
planed to revert it back in the Aug-2008 but now government announces that
this will remain same for another two months. but microsoft still not
released any patch for this change could anybody help me because my all
clients time is revert back to GMT +5:00 .
Actuall time in watches are 9:30Am
But computers shows 8:30AM

Please let me know the link from where I can download the patch for DST for
pakistan according to this new change

Thanks

If an update/patch is available and it's not already installed, it should be
offered by Windows Update, Amir.

[Amir Saleem (Pakistan)]

Dear, Thanks for your reply, The patch is already installed on the Clients
side but still we are getting the old time GMT +5 ?

any idea???

 

[Amir Saleem (Pakistan)]

I think Microsoft need to release some patch for this in which they have to
mention the new DST timming for Pakistan.

 

[Gary S. Terhune]

I can almost guarantee you that Microsoft only intends to put out a Time
Zone patch at most once per year, and the last two times it was deep winter
(December 2007 was the last patch.)

Really, it's rather illogical of you to expect Microsoft to put some kind of
emergency rush on a patch just because your government is behaving
erratically. Be aware, also, that this patch isn't considered Critical,
making the idea of MS getting anything done in time to help you quite
unlikely.

What date in October is the change supposed to take place under the new law?
Will next year's planned beginning and ending dates of Daylight time change
from what was previously anticipated? Or, to make it easier on you, what are
they going to be (beginning and ending dates of DLT)? Also, just for my
edification, does Pakistan use a Western calendar? I ask because Windows
Time/Date settings take into account the traditional Jewish lunar calendar,
which means a different set of rules each year. I'm curious about any other
countries that might do this.

With the data I can make you a patch rather more quickly than MS would ever
get around to it. I'll even tell you how I did it once I've done it and
tested to make sure there's nothing I missed. Or you can try yourself. Just
make sure you set a Restore Point first.

1. Download TZEdit.exe from Microsoft:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/8/a/58a208b7-7dc7-4bc7-8357-28e29cdac52f/tzedit.exe

(TinyURL for above is: http://tinyurl.com/y433w9)

The file does not "install" anything, it's a simple self-extracting archive,
so there's no need to hide it in Program Files. Simply unzip it to a new
folder on your desktop.

2. Open REGEDIT, find the following key and Export it for safe keeping:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time
Zones\Pakistan Standard Time"

Call it "Old_TZ_Info.reg"

3. Delete the sub-key of the above named key named "Dynamic DST". This will
keep Windows from undoing your work.

4. Run TZEDIT and make the appropriate changes to your Time Zone settings.
Close TZEDIT.

5. Open the Time/Date applet and change the Time Zone to any other one in
the list, click Apply, then change it back to what it was and click OK. This
is *required* in order to update the CurrentControlSet entries mentioned
below. This will prevent you having to reboot the systems or, alternatively,
to require your users to change the Time Zone to something else and then
back again. It can be done with script, but only using SendKeys, and that is
an unreliable function IME.

6. Export what remains of the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones\Pakistan Standard Time" and name it
"New_TZ_Info.reg"

7. Export the following Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation

Call it "TZ_CCC.reg"

Open both new REG files for editing in Notepad, make sure Word-wrap is off,
copy the pertinent data from this one (step 7) to the above one (in step 6),
making sure that there are two carriage returns after the end of the last
line, then save. It should look like this (everything between the dotted
lines (except, of course, that I'm using Mountain Standard Time as an
example):

Again, when you place your cursor on the last line of text, pressing the
Down Arrow key twice should leave an empty line between the last line of
text and the cursor (I show the cursor with an upper-case "I" in this
example, but there should be nothing there.) Now, delete the entire line
""Index"=dword:0xnnnnnnnn", do not leave an empty line, then save the REG
file and use it to update your clients using whatever automation you feel
most comfortable with, perhaps a batch file.

Note that this procedure will simply fix your Time Zone information. It will
not change an incorrect time. If you want to do that, also, use something
like Cmdtime3 http://www.softshape.net/download/cmdtime.zip. It's an
internet time sync program, performing the same function as the Internet
Time tab in the Time/Date applet. The download includes a readme and a list
of time servers. You'll want to test cmdtime3 to see which servers work well
for you. Thus, you would create a folder that includes the updated REG file,
plus Cmdtime3.exe, plus the batch file. There is a command in XP that will
sync the time with time servers using Windows's list of servers, w32tm
/resync, but I wouldn't trust as much as I would cmdtime3 to get the job
done on various computers. The list of time servers maintained by Windows is
minimal and most or all of them don't work at all. Plus, you need permission
to access many time servers, so that my favorite one for the Internet Time
tab of the Date/Time applet doesn't work with Cmdtime3. The list of servers
included with the app includes notes on which ones are completely open to
the public. But as I said, you should test this on a few machines before
distributing it.

The command lines to run in the batch file would be something like this:

reg New_TZ_Info.reg > TZReport.txt
cmdtime3 ntp.adelaide.edu.au sync M:1440 >TZReport.txt

Call the file ChangeTZ.bat

M:1440 portion of the above is in minutes, and indicates that the app is
allowed to correct any time that is less than a day wrong, but if the
difference is more than that, the time update will fail. Of course, you
could increase it to some unknown large limit, but I figure a day is
sufficient. We don't expect systems to be off more than that, and if so, the
system should simply have its date changed. TZReport will tell you if
there's been a problem.

Distribute the folder and run the batch file. The can be made even easier by
packing the folder into a ZIP file and making that EXEcutable. One drawback
to resetting the time is that you need to be logged on as administrator in
order to change time. One solution is to use CPAU:
http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/cpau/index.htm

Or use some other Admin trick I don't know about to distribute the file. But
since the password is not easily encrypted, I would want to insert commands
into ChangeTZ.bat to send the TZReport to yourself and to immediately delete
the folder

Or you can write a script using the info you derive from the REG file, or
whatever you do best for your situation. Like I said, I'm not an domain
admin and don't know the various ways to get the job done.

 

[PA Bear [MS MVP]]

If the patch was released prior to the government's decision to make the
change, you'll just have to wait until MS releases an updated patch (e.g.,
in Dec-08, perhaps) or make the change manually on all machines, I'm afraid.

 

[Amir Saleem (Pakistan)]

Dear Gary S. Terhune,
first of all many thanks for your detailed reply.please see the answers of
your questiion which may help you for making the patch for us.

What date in October is the change supposed to take place under the new law?
its 31-October-2008 at 12:00AM time will revert back to GMT +5:00

Will next year's planned beginning and ending dates of Daylight time change
from what was previously anticipated?
Its totally depends upon Government dicession may be they will use the same
approach as they did this time like

From 1 June 2008, in Pakistan the standard time will be GMT +6 and it will
revert back to GMT +5 on 1 November 2008

So I think you need to prepare two patches one is for the above mention DST
change & the other once is Normal one standard MS setting (which revert back
the Standard MS setting)

Many Thanks for your help

Please let me know the link from where I can download the patch for DST
for
pakistan according to this new change

Thanks

 

[Gary S. Terhune]

Please provide me with an idea of who your "clients" are. Are you the admin
of one or more domains? How large are the domains? What languages do you
require? What are you going to do when the government finally makes up its
mind? Come find me again?

Really, if you are at all competent with Windows, and given the instructions
I provided, you would do much better to create, test and deploy the patch(s)
yourself. That's why I finally wrote what I wrote, though I agree I started
out offering to create the patch you require, if you're not the admin of a
quite large number of machines, or a computer service tech to a large number
of individual clients, then you have no need for the patch at all. If you
are in charge of a large number of machines, you must be employed in the
business and I don't do that kind of thing for free. I provide the
instructions the best I can and you do the work. It's called "Peer-support".
You have to do your part. For instance, I've only a vague idea how to
distribute the files over a domain and what switches will be required for
Cmdtime3, which, by the way, is shareware that you'd need to obtain for
yourself.

You have questions left unanswered. Specifically, what language are the OSes
of your machines? If English (only) then I can provide you with the proper
REG file, but the rest is up to you. Besides, I will not be available for
much of the week to come. Only for short periods per day. Thus, while I can
answer questions you may come across and obstacles to work around, I won't
have time to set up test beds for other systems besides WP (to name one
problem that occurred to me after I sent the previous post.)Why not use the
information I've provided, set up one or more test machines, and figure it
out for yourself?
