That's pretty funny--I totally forgot about that! Even after you fix it,
Windows will then break it again on April 1! 

I had the same thought about the clock synchronization for domain members.
Won't that in fact take care of getting the clock set correctly?

I read some coverage on this that suggested you will also need to adjust the
clock when DST used to change, so four times per year instead of just twice.
(But you say they are domain members, won't the clock be set automatically
wrong whenever they login?)

I think we are down to about six Win2000 computers too. My plan was to just
upgrade them to XP.  I had forgotten about our Win2000 server  
until now, suppose that will need to be upgraded too.   Ughhh!

I'm glad we ditched Exchange here. I was reading about the patching strategy
for some versions of that: you have to patch W2K, then within an hour patch
Exchange. Otherwise it apparently goes thru and modifies meeting times in
advance and they can't be easily fixed.
