Time Zone patch for Domino/Win2k servers
Category
Bob Warth was good enough to send me this information for posting. If you are in the US, or deal with the US, and have Win2k servers running Domino....... read it!
Hi Paul, not sure how serious you guys consider the upcoming change to the new
timezone rules for the US, but over here it's looking like there will be some
definite pain. Rob Axelrod is FREAKING OUT over on the Notes forum:
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/0/e579440219fe47f98525725a0061fdba (and
I don't blame him.) At a minimum we're facing a lot of entries in C&S and
resource reservations and Sametime that will be an hour off and require
attention, and our hundreds of Blackberry users are already noticing their
handheld calendar doesn't agree with their Notes calendar on their patched PC.
RIM says they may have a patch by the end of January. (Could they be thinking
that any patch that arrives before March 11 is soon enough? Could they think no
one plans ahead?)
Anyway, setting Notes and Domino to inherit timezone settings from the OS does
help, and is fine for the Win2003 servers, but Microsoft doesn't have a patch
for our remaining 2000 servers. Or do they?

I downloaded a 2003 patch from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928388 , ran it,
and immediately got a popup "The version of Windows you have installed does not
match the update you are trying to install." OK, but while that popup was on my
screen I found and saw a new temp folder like
C:\77baae366f50729c49ff8f38a26e02bf and it contained a "tzchange.exe" program
and an inf file. The inf file showed the patch wanted to run a bunch of
commands like
tzchange.exe /F "Pacific SA Standard Time" /S 10 6 2 23 59 59 999 /E 3 6 2
23 59 59 999 /G
So then it was fairly simple to wrap up all the commands into a batch file, copy
the batch file and the tzchange.exe to the various 2000 servers, and execute
this hack of the 2003 patch. The whole batch file looked like this (email may
wrap some of the lines):
tzchange.exe /F "Egypt Standard Time" /S 4 4 5 23 59 59 0 /E 9 4 5 23 59 59 0 /G
