I recently installed Windows 2003 Std x32 from scratch and patched it using the windows update site. However I noticed that the time is off by an hour. I checked, and its not a local clock issue, time zone issue or a network time issue. The server is joined to domain using network time from the domain, I used w32tm /stripchart to check network time differences no issues there, but when I checked my time zone via w32tm /tz it came back correct, but the daylight savings information is incorrect.
Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT Bias: 360min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias)
[Standard Name:"Central Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:11 D:1 DoW:0)]
[Daylight Name:"Central Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:11 D:1 DoW:0)]
It should be -60 as in this....
Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT Bias: 360min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias)
[Standard Name:"Central Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:11 D:1 DoW:0)]
[Daylight Name:"Central Daylight Time" Bias:-60min
Date:(M:3 D:2 DoW:0)]
When I checked the version of files (tzchange.exe), I got 5.2.3790.5087(which doesn't show up on Microsoft's web site, apparently Microsoft stopped reporting this information in their TZ updates). I finally found the latest TZ update KB2779562 and verified this was installed on my server, so I assume the version number is from KB2779562
Just for reference the output that is correct come from a server with tzchange.exe is5.2.3790.3233 which is from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955839
Suggestions on how to fix, that don't involve uninstalling the current patch or guessing at what registry settings I need to change????
I've compared the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones\Central Standard Time registry keys on both servers and they are exactly the same. They also match the ones listed in this articlehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387
Is this a known issue??? I haven't been able to find anyone reporting it...
