Time off in WSUS 2

Interesting. We have our WSUS 2 synchronizing at 1:30 AM [and it decides to
do it at 1:33 AM]. Didn't notice until today that it was synchronizing at
12:30 AM [with actual synchronizing at 12:33 AM].

Now our server is running Win 2K3 with SP2 and has the correct time. Is this
a time issue with WSUS2? Maybe the SQL MSDE 2000 then?

Thanks

Gis

It's a function of the fact that WSUS stores the sync time internally as
GMT.

When DST ended, local time became an hour different than GMT.

The server is still synchronizing at the same time (GMT).

Reset your sync time to the desired local time.
