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

Re: Windows 2003 DST patch didn't work

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.
