hello,

i've got a little problem at my company..
i live in the nederlands and the clock uses Daylight saving changes. In the summer is it GMT +2 and in the winter is it GMT +1

but automatically adjustment is disabled on all my computers, so i created this script:

code:
 


If ExistKey ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation") =0
$Autodaylight = ReadValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet")
If $Autodaylight = "1"
DelValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DayLightName","W. Europe Daylight Time","Reg_SZ")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","ActiveTimeBias","ffffff88","REG_DWORD")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DaylightBias","ffffffc4","REG_DWORD")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DaylightStart","00 00 03 00 05 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00","REG_BINARY")

EndIf
EndIf




can anybody tell me of this will work??? i have to implement this next week.

by the way, if i adjust it manually, all appointments moves 1 hour forward...

thnx in regard,

marcel

message added for use with code button

Marcel,

Please, when posting code, please use the CODE Button below to place your code between the [CODE]..[/CODE] tags.

Will this work?

What happens when you test it? Do your users have rights to do so? Generally speaking, HKLM, you would need Administrative access to write to this key of the registry.

With your DELVALUE, WRITEVALUE, etc. you should preceed the command with a $RC= or equivalent to suppress the results for your users. Having this off for the time being is good to see the results.

The REG_BINARY, should be -

"00000300050002000000000000000000"

HTH,

Kent

sorry,

next time i will use the code button..

all my users are at this time local admin so, that would not cause a problem.

when i run the script, the adjustment are made, but, my time will not jump one hour forward (still summertime), but when i made the adjustment manually, the time will jump...

quote:

The REG_BINARY, should be -

"00000300050002000000000000000000"


ok thnx. i will made the adjustment..

Not sure what you expect... that is expected behaviour. Why would you expect the OS to react to a reg hack?

I imagine when the computer is rebooted, that it will have the correct time. You could try issueing a NET TIME or a W32TM -ONCE from the SHELL if you want to see results without a reboot.

A reboot should indeed do the trick, if all the correct settings are changed by your script. You can use some thing like regshot to check the values changed when you set it manually.

When this is enabled deploying some sort of auto time synchronization might also be a good thing.

However, a registry refresh might do the trick, too. Registry refreshes are for example done when killing/restarting explorer.exe. See http://is-it-true.org/nt/registry/rtips315.shtml

You can apply these changes by hand, right?

If we look at KiXtart FAQ & How to's

We see Registry Tools

and specifically Regshot

So, you should see the before and after effects and record these.

Kent

Marcel,

You can also use Advanced Registry Tracert. Cann't you used the net time command?

hehehe we really could, but i rather keep it in english so the that the others might try to understand me, but i FOUND my bug!!!!

code:
If ExistKey ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation") =0
$Autodaylight = ReadValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet")
If $Autodaylight = "1"
DelValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DayLightName","W. Europe Daylight Time","Reg_SZ")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","ActiveTimeBias","0xFFFFFF88","REG_DWORD")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DaylightBias","0xFFFFFFC4","REG_DWORD")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DaylightStart","00000300050002000000000000000000","REG_BINARY")
Shell "%COMSPEC% /c net time \\server /set"
EndIf
EndIf

by DaylightBias it must be 0xFFFFFF88.. but i wrote: ffffff88.. well that doens't do the trick [Smile]

and that costed me almost a week.. pfff...
i uses the older version of regsnap and it gaves me the output i usses..ffffff88

thnx anybody for you're help!

Marcel,

You posted that 0xFFFFFF88 was the needed step..

Let's get some help from the documentation here.

If we do some digging under READVALUE...

"REG_DWORD variables are returned in decimal format"

Wouldn't that mean that these can also be written in Decimal Format?

For example, I see 4294967236 (FFFFFFC4) using Registry Commander.

So, we take your FFFFFF88 into Windows Calculator as a Hex and get 4294967176 in Decimal.

HTH,

Kent

But you could also supply the HEX value instead, thus the &H moniker.

im not such a specialist in KIX... so [Smile]

but maybe it's strange but this works:

code:
  
If ExistKey ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation") =0
$Autodaylight = ReadValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet")
If $Autodaylight = "1"
DelValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DayLightName","W. Europe Daylight Time","Reg_SZ")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","ActiveTimeBias","0xFFFFFF88","REG_DWORD")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DaylightBias","0xFFFFFFC4","REG_DWORD")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation","DaylightStart","00000300050002000000000000000000","REG_BINARY")
Shell "%COMSPEC% /c net time \\Testsrv /set"
EndIf
EndIf
