Hi all, I'm new.

Here is my problem, i use EWF(ram) to protect CF, when daylight saving time changed from summer time to winter time, clock go back 1 hour, and every time after reboot the clock go back one hour because changes not been committed. After few days I got lots complains from customers that all systems clock are mess up. Have to go to fields manually commit every system.

Any one has same problem? What would be a quick fix?

Thanks!

Having the same trouble... And even more: on my box the user can change location (TimeZone) setting. If it differs from original (saved in registry), the time shifts on each boot :(.
The only way now is to sync time via NTP (if you have network connection).

Wondering about coming XPe feature pack that will allow to commit single file...

Yes, in the Feature Pack 2007, there is a new File Based Write Filter which will allow you to specify specific files and folders allowed to write through the filter

pre-FP2007:

Because the Enhanced Write Filter must be enabled, there is no way for the XPE OS to determine whether it has already adjusted the system clock for daylight savings.  This means that during daylight savings, the OS will reset the clock on every reboot of the cabinet.  This is undesirable behavior.  To remove this feature, you must add two new registry keys to image and disable one key from the NLS: Time Zones component.  The registry keys to be added are determined through the use of regmon on any computer.  Simply change the system clock to not adjust for daylight savings and see what registry keys are added/modified.

In our case (maybe everyone's?), two values must be added in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation key (in Extra Registry Data):

 DaylightBias (REG_DWORD) = 0

 DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet (REF_DWORD) = 1

In the NLS:Time Zones component, disable this value in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation key (near the bottom of a very long list):

 DaylightBias = -60
