DST and My Computers

["EdwardATeller" <sorry_no_email@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry if this has been covered already, but I am looking for a way to
deal with this DST issue.  I thought I'd be able to simply synchronize
my computer clock with the NIST time servers after the switch over and
all would be well.  Today I found out that won't work.  Only one of my
5 computers has an OS that can be patched, so I am left with 4 Windows
OS's that will need manual adjustments unless I can figure something
out.

Syncing to GMT on the internet, and then running a variable offset
that is triggered by the calendar would work nicely.  I suppose I
could write a perl script that does this, and then use task scheduler
to run it once a day. Maybe I could sync to the patched computer on my
network and not have to worry about the extra offset and calendar
logic.  Is there a way to remotely sense an XP SP2 computer's system
time?
