Windows 2000 DST Fix

[Kaiser]

For those who do not know, Congress passed a new DST (Daylight Savings Time) specification. Microsoft is suppoerting Windows XP and newer operating systems, but not Windows 2000 since it is out of service. I know there are still a good amount of people using Windows 2000 especially server. Here is a patch that will fix the Windows 2000 boxes.

I have reviewed the code and tested this patch myself, it is tight. As the article states, you can run this silently via GP startup script (not logon script, because the user would need admin rights) with the following command tail:

DaylightSavingFix.exe /qinstall
