Mike Hoye reminds us all that Daylight Saving Time is this weekend, and if you don't update your system properly you very well might be fucked in a number of small, really annoying ways.

Or in the case of me. If you update your server incorrectly you will be fucked over 2000 ways

I figure most of the people who need this warning aren't the kind of people who will get hammered by multiple thousands of client machines.

But yeah. If you have a domain with win2K clients or servers, get 'em *all* updated or either all the 2K or all the XP machiens will break come Monday morning.

Please note that he correctly calls it Daylight Saving Time. Not Savings.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Thanks for posting this. The machine that runs my apparatus is Win2K and I had no idea that it would not be automatically updated. (And we are too small to have a dedicated on-site IT person so it's every person for her or himself.)

AZ doesn't use DST. Which means I need to check my computer and any others I use to make sure they've been set with Mountain Standard (AZ) as their time zone. And not just plain MST...

You have NO idea how many updates have come accross our desks at work for this in the last 2 weeks.
