SYMPTOMS

DNS Admin reports the wrong system reset time in the Statistics Last Cleared field

CAUSE

The DNS service incorrectly compensates for GMT when the system time is already set to local time.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Windows NT 4.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The system time is incorrectly compensated for the GMT offset, which results in the Statistics Last Cleared field displaying the incorrect time for the DNS service being started. The amount of the time error is equal to your local offset from GMT. If your time zone is GMT, no error will observed.
