Free daylight savings 2009 software for windows

This program updates Windows machines to the new USA daylight saving time requirements in 2007. Daylight Saving Time Fix is a small, simple but useful program that updates Windows machines to the new USA daylight saving time requirements in 2007.
You may have forgotten by now, but two years ago the US government changed the dates for daylight saving time. When the law was passed it was set to take effect in 2007.
Well, here we are. It is 2007, and Microsoft has published updates for XP, and 2003. But... No update for 2000 Workstation, or any of the server editions.
This is a huge problem for many organizations. There are some companies that have hundreds of Windows 2000 boxes. The thought that they will need to upgrade to XP or 2003 (Just for this) is a nightmare. Microsoft is providing a hotfix - but only to the companies that have an extended support contract. To their credit, Microsoft does provide a registry workaround for the rest of us.
Daylight Saving Time Fix is a utility that will update any machine to the new daylight saving format (XP, NT, 2000, 2003, Vista). Obviously you only need it for 2000, or NT since those operating systems have dropped off support.
It updates Daylight Saving Time (Yes it is Saving, not Savings) in these time zones:
- Alaska Standard Time Zone
- Central Standard Time Zone
- Eastern Standard Time Zone
- Mountain Standard Time Zone
- Pacific Standard Time Zone
- Atlantic Standard Time Zone (Canada)
- Newfoundland Standard Time Zone (Canada)
Please note that now we are past March 11th 1:59am the time will *not* be moved forward automatically when installing this patch.
Windows is not smart enough to know that it is in the new dst unless it sees the transition between 1:59am and 2:00am on March 11th.
This means you will need to set your clock forward an hour *after* using the patch. Your system will then switch fine at the proper time from this point on.
If you are on a domain, you will simply need to reboot for windows to sync with the domain controller and see the change.
To test and make sure it is working. Set your date to November 4th and 1:59am Wait for it to get to 2:01am and it should bounce back to 1:00am

Having trouble with DST 2007, the new Daylight Savings Time change? Pre-Windows Vista machines need to be updated to handle it.
XP can update from Automatic Updates, but what pre-XP machines? Microsofts answer is to run a DST editor on EACH machine! This is why Day Saver can save an average admin with 50 or more pre-XP PCs on his/her network an entire day of manually updated each machine with Microsofts utility TZEdit.
Day Saver can update daylight savings time information on your entire network at once, all from your desk. When its done it will even give you a full printable report.
Main features:
- Adaptable, meaning you can use it for whatever DST change there is, although the changes for DST2007 are the defaults
- Should update the DST for Win 9x*, ME*, NT, 2000, 2003 or XP. (Vista not supported, I am not sure what would happen if it was run on a Vista machine. Vista has the updated DST info anyway.)
- You can update the computer the program is run on
- You can update just a single remote computer
- You can update a list of computers (stored as a csv file in the program folder, so you can easily export a computer list from Excel or Access)
- You can update an IP range
- Full printable report once complete
- You may add as many other commands as you want to run on each computer (i.e. other DST patches)

Savings Bell is a helpful widget for those who want to manage their ssavings.
The concept of savings for savings sake is still a bit abstract even for todays sophisticated kid consumers. A bit of visualization and a concrete goal can be helpful. Hence Savings Bell.
