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!
