SYMPTOMS
After Daylight Saving Time ends, your Windows NT Server-based computer may be delayed in reflecting the correct time. While minutes and seconds are listed correctly, the hour may be off by one. For example, it should display 1:01am, but displays 2:01am instead. This problem may be seen on other Windows NT Server-based computers if they are performing time synchronization by using the W32time service. Also, after a few minutes, the problem fixes itself.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain and apply the latest service pack for Windows NT.

To prevent this problem from occurring, do not start the server, restart the server, or change the time on the server within six hours before the Daylight Saving Time change.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
