Patchless for DST

Guest

I know there are a bunch of updates to do for DST and they should be done in
the proper sequence on all machines in the domain. However, I want to post
our plan here for comments.
We have one Windows 200 domain with 2 servers, one running Exchange 5.5 and
the other MSSQL. We have about 100 Windows 200 desktops and 100 Windows XP
desktops. Most are running Outlook 2002(XP).
We run a logon script that pushes the time out to the desktop from the
server everytime someone logs on. We force an office-wide reboot overnight,
every night. We are planning on doing nothing for DST. We will come in on
Sunday March 11 and change the time on the 2 servers. The desktops will get
the time the next time someone logs on. We believe that as long as we do not
update any machine for DST we should be OK, (and if we apply one update we
would have to apply them all). If that works, we will have to come in again
three weeks later (original DST date) and change the two clocks again.
We expect to replace or upgrade all equipment to most current hardware and
software before October.

Your thoughts please.

appointment in exchange calendars will be an hour off. There is no 5.5
patch, so you will have to manually move them
