Question:

Howdy!

Our network is using Windows Server 2003 for the server and Windows XP SP2 for the client workstations.  The clients are configured to sync their system time to the server.  I have installed the DST patch for 2003 on the server.

My question is: do I still have to install the XP DST patch on the individual workstations, or are we covered since the server is patched?

Thanks!

hi rjander,
Go ahead and read the info here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst

If you want to run it across your network to all the local hosts, several folks here have used PSEXEC and a simple script command.

You can get PSEXEC here:

Create a list of your computers and save it to a text file named computers.txt

This is the command line you need to run:
psexec @C:\computers.txt c:\pathtofile\file.exe
