abstract

When day light savings time takes effect TIME RESTRICTIONS will be off by either 1 hour ahead or 1 hour behind. This means that users may not be able to access the network at the times designated by the network Administrator. Users may also have access to the network at times that they should not. DST.EXE is a DOS based utility that allows the network Administrator to shift a users time up or down in 30 minute increments to accomodate the time change due to day light savings time.

installation

See the issues section.

issue

The DST.EXE file will allow the Administor to move time restrictions for users time restrictions up or down in 30 minute increments. Follow the instructions below (these can also be displayed by typing DST <ENTER>):

USAGE: DST +|-<h> [<subtree container>] [/r] [/t] [>logfile]
  Where <h> indicates the number of 1/2 hour chunks to shift
            the login restriction map for each user object, and
            the '+' or '-' sign indicates the direction to shift.

        <container> is an optional container whose subtree should be
            modified. If no subtree container is specified then the
            current context container is assumed.

        /r indicates begin at the root. (The /r and <subtree container>
            options are mutually exclusive.)

        /t indicates 'test', meaning that information is logged but
            not modified. This is useful if you aren't sure which
            objects you will be affecting.

        For modification logging, redirect output to a log file.

NOTE: Admin rights for the container in which the users are located is necessary to change their time restrictions using DST.EXE.
