I noticed yesterday that the timestamps are all off by one hour. The site claims times are in GMT. Since I'm in the UK, this should currently match my local time, but at present it's showing 11:30 when my clock time is 10:30.

I believe this is because there is old code here that changes DST at a later time in the UK. I'll have to see if we can get this patched.

There's some problem with the time zones I think. For me the time shows 11:18, but it's actually 10:18. My timezone is set to GMT + 2, no DST

DST kicked in on Sunday in the US, which is how the servers work.

I think that the rest of the world might have a different DST date.

No Steve the USA has a different DST

The UK has the 'correct' one. 😀

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

Did any of you change the clock while transactional replication was working?

Do you know if that has a side effect, like breaking the replication or making oit fail?

My server support team wants to change the regional settings at the publisher but I want to be sure they won't break the replication.

Thanks

Matt - I think there is going to be a CU coming out in November to fix that ;).
