timzone change (need help please)

I am not sure Microsoft knows that Indiana is changing its timezone to a new
one...
I can't remember if they are adopting Central or Eastern, however they will
be observing daylight savings time.
Which they have not done in the past, therefore had their own specified
timezone.

Is Microsoft going to make a patch for this, as it will affect all INDIANA
PCs?

How easy can we widely change all the computers to adapt to the new observed
standard, since all use the old Indiana East time zone?

Can we do this centrally?

I think there is a quick GPO setting, or timezone script one could utilize,
however I am not sure if there are repercussions to this... What about for
older Oses (95 and such)


Thanks for your help in advance
-Rob

Rob,

Has this been a problem in the past?  I would like to think that MS would be
on top of something like this.
