How do you account for daylight savings time?? I would assume you would shut down the server before the time switches (goes back one hour) and then when it passes the time from when you shut the server down, start it back up, right?? Any help would be appreiciated...

To avoid disruption to your users I would tell your OS not to adjust for DST and then when noone is on adjust the time.. even restart the server if you feel the need.. The only thing is that you dont want users logged in during the time change because the twgs doesnt know how to deal with it and you will get problems..
