I am not sure how to proceed with this, since I heard Siemens has not tested the DST patch with PCS 7 V6.1 running on Windows XP and Server 2003. Have any of you implemented this patch? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Vadrad

Siemens just emailed me from the USA department and said that Microsoft DST patch is supported on PCS7, but the pdf you linked to states that the DST patch was not tested. Please comment if you have experience with this DST patch or any other input. Thank you!

Time Sync was a pain before we installed the patch, having to go in and reset the CP1613's, etc. Last DST shift we didn't even notice. Jim [edit for afterthought] Come to think of it, I don't know why it was installed on all the clients and servers since they all get their system time from the time server.
