Newer 2007 Daylight Savings Time for Win2K?

[mikesw]

I see that MSoft put out an updated KB fix for the 2007 Daylight Savings Time for Windows XP.

See KB933360 around the begining of August.

I don't know whats changed about this one compared to the old one vs the home built version that

was done for Windows 2k.

Is it possible to update the Unofficial Win 2K 2007 Daylight saving time patch?

I wonder if one installed the Windows XP fix on an XP system, and then just exported only those registry settings

dealing with timezone to a registry file, can one then just import that into the Win 2K registry as the

2007 daylight savings time fix? Anybody up to experimenting on this to see if it saves alot of hand

jamming data in?

I would think that the Win xp registry and Win 2K registry should be the same in structure, but

differ perhaps only in content.

Ok,

One can do this "KB933360.exe /X" and specify where to output the hotfix into a directory you specify.

Next look at the sp2qfe.inf file using notepad and you'll see all the registry entries that they do to

XP. It may be useful to compare the registry settings in the SP2QFE.inf file to those in the KB article for

Win 2K to see if they are the same.

Perhaps the SP2QFE.inf file can be modified to make it Windows 2k like. Then use the tzchange.exe

that MSoft supplies too along with some of the other files to rebundle them to create a WIn2K fix.

Any other thoughts on this? Some of the other stuff in the inf file isn't clear yet as to what it does.

A KB933360 hotfix for Win2k SP4 may be available but you have to contact Microsoft support for it, just like what Win2000 users had to do with the previous DST patch (KB931836).

If you do Google or Yahoo searches for Win2000 KB931836 you'll find a few sites that have the Win2k SP4 edition of KB931836.
