Re: Domino/Notes and DST again!

Chris,

There is no DSTLAW line in notes.ini for this server. I know that Domino
is now supposed to follow the OS time but thought there could still be
some confusion at Daylight Saving changes if it was up.

In researching this I found an Info Center article that mentioned the
Restart_Time_Action=, Last_Domino_Time=, and Restart_Time_Interval=, all
three of which also don't exist in notes.ini. However, in searching for
them I found TimeZone=, DST=, and ZONE_SET= in there. These got me to
thinking. (I know, very dangerous at this time of the night) You can't
set these things via the Admin Client anymore so I just now took a
chance, shutdown the server, deleted the lines and restarted it. A test
message seems to show the correct time now. Somewhere an upgrade along
the line from version 5 of many moons ago something got missed.

Thanks.

Roger
