I am posting separately due to I recieved no answer when chiming in on
another post. I have noticed the adjust for daylight savings box is
unchecked on the server after the patch, is this correct? Or do I need to
recheck this? Please advise.

Up to you, but, I'd recheck. I don't want to be up at 2am changing the time
on all the machines. :)

Same problem.

At work, where we connect via a domain, our desktops keep jumping 1hr ahead
of the correct DLS time. The Win2k server itself keeps the correct DLS.

The WinXP Network Time is not available via a domain, the tab is not there
and this is "normal" situation according to MS KB.

The only fix I've found is to install a 3rd Party time-sync utility.

I use freeware SymmTime from http://www.ntp-systems.com/

But that leaves the question of why this is happening.
 
FOUND it!!

Here is what fixed the issue. We have 2 servers, one w2003 DC and one 2003
Member server w/exchange. I went back and looked at the servers and the clock
info shows Pacific Standard Time instead of Pacific Daylight time and the
adjust for DST was not checked. After checking the box to adjust for DST the
time jumped ahead 1 hour and I reset it. It now shows Pacific Daylight time
and all XP machines are working so far. What bothers me is that the servers
were rebooted after the patch on the 10th and this still occured.

Hope this helps others..
Dan
