    Peter,

    Unfortunately I don't have an answer at this time. I have looked a few
    places and have turned up nada.

    Net time doesn't adjust time zone settings from the domain controller.
    It should.

    First I exported the TimeZoneInformation registry key. Next, I unchecked
    the Day Light Savings time and verified the changes on the clock (set
    back one hour). Then deleted all the entries from the
    TimeZoneInformation registry key. The original good configuration was
    then imported back into the registry and client rebooted. Still no
    update to the system clock! This is peculiar.

    Anyone have an answer?

    P.S. I have only been testing this on an XP client.

    Thanks

    Arthur

    Hi,

    Thank you so much for your help. In my test env. I
    used this DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet to make the check
    box checked for automatically ajust clock for daylight
    saving changes. But, the time is not changed until
    you click "OK" to take effect even the check box is
    checked.

    Do you know how to automate this without clicking
    "OK"?

    Thanks again,

    Peter
