Deploying the Daylight Saving Patch

Here is the step-by-step method I used to deploy the Microsft DST patch. It worked really well (and we continue to use this as a model for current and future deployments). I thought it would be a worthwhile example to share with the community.

1. Copy the DST patch files to the Express share on the Altiris server.
2. Create a job to distribute the DST update files - if you have both Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you can do both from on push. You can setup a condition. I set condition to look for anything with an OS of Windows 2000.

3. In your Windows 2000 condition, add a job that copies the DST for Windows 2000 to the C: drive of the local computers. I made my destination path C:\DST Change\2000 sp4. Then add a run Script.

4. In your default condition that will be for Windows XP, setup in distribute software job.

Hope this helps everyone out there. It really worked well for me.
