We've just replaced a leased ES45 with a DS25 on March 28th. The DS25

The SYS$TIMEZONE_NAME/_DIFFERENTIAL logicals were also wrong as they were
set to EST, not EDT. The SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE was correct in that it contained
the new DST rules. I've run UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM to correct the issue on the
running system.

The ES45 system was set up for AUTO_DLIGHT_SAV and it did weather the time
change properly in March. All patches as of 12/2006 were installed on this
OpenVMS Alpha V8.2 system.

I'm at a loss as to what happened. Anyone have any ideas?

I have seen this if you either:

1) Installed the TZ patch without running UTC$TIME_SETUP (irrespective
of what the release notes say about the time zone -- GMT or not)

2) The timezone name you have in SYS$STARTUP:TDF$UTC_STARTUP (created
by UTC$TIME_SETUP) doesn't match what's in sys$system:sys
$timezone*.dat...I'm not sure how this happened, but running UTC
$TIME_SETUP seems to have gotten everything back in synch.

If you look at old(er) versions of the above files on your system, you
may be able to determine when things got out of synch.
