Guest Demerson Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Hello, folks. I've been researching on a script to enable the daylight savings configuration and synchronize the system time of all machines in the domain with one of the DCs (PDC emulator). The .vbs script worked fine on all tests and we finally decided to apply it through a GPO to the domain. First we manually did all the servers and double checked whether the summer times were all correct. Then we applied the GPO. It did enable the daylight option on the stations and also updated the time. Thats when the problems begun. We are normally GMT -3. With daylight savings, we turn to GMT -2. Thing is, the machines can only get GMT -3 from the servers. Meaning they are 1 hour behind all the servers. When I run "net time" on any machine, this message comes up: _____________________________________________________ The current time at \\server1 is 1/16/2008 7:50 AM The local time (GMT -02:00) at \\server1 is 1/16/2008 8:50 AM _____________________________________________________ Apparently the stations see that the "real" time on the server is not the daylight savings one and synchronize with that "real" time. Another detail is that the time zone on all machines and servers is GMT - 3 but on the message, it said GMT -2. If I disable the daylight option on the server, the machines manage to synchronize OK. Has anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas on how to synchronize correctly the times? Thanks very much, guys! Demerson.
