Network Time Problems

Hello,

We have been having time issues ever since the govt changed the daylight
savings time dates. We applied all of the patches, but the first year we
still had some issues, primarily with Outlook Calendaring. We ran the time
zone tools on the Outlook clients that had issues. Every time change it
gets a bit worse.



Currently, after a lot of trial and error, we have our domain controller
(Windows Serve 2003) and our email server (same, with Exchange 2003), set to
the correct time with the "adjust to daylight savings time" switched off.
We had problems when it was selected. Our clients are set the same. Our
scheduling between our employees is correct, but when we send or receive
email to or from the outside world, it is often off by one hour. The same
with appointments sent outside of the domain.



Can anyone give me some advice on the following?



If I set the domain controller to adjust for daylight savings time, and have
reference in my login scripts to sync using w32tm, should the clients be set
for "adjust to daylight saving time" also, or does it grab the adjusted time
from the dc? How about the other servers? I have one other dc and several
members.



Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi - I replied at length in m.p.exchange.admin. In the future, please don't
multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost
instead, by posting a single message to a handful of relevant groups
(separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread.
Multiposting wastes everyone's time, including yours, and may lead to your
actually getting *less* help rather than more.
