Windows 2003 DST patch didn't work

[Guest Chris]

I installed a new server couple months ago and applied DST patch KB931836.

But it didn't take effect this weekend. The time changed to standard time.

I had to apply the new DST patch KB933360. But on a cluster I have KB931836

and it works good. Do I need to apply KB933360 too?

 

Thanks.

933360 isn't exactly a patch, it's a utility that runs and modifies the

registry entries with the updated time zone data; it doesn't change any

system files

alternatively, you can download the tzedit utility manually if you like and

change the dst start/end times that way on the nodes

wouldn't hurt to run it and it will show the dst start/end times

should KB931836 take care of DST in the first place? I downloaded and

installed. Am I supposed to do anything else after that? I thought you only

need to run the tool after you made the registry change for DST database.

The patch kb931836 just need to be installed and it will take care time

change itself.
