Hello everyone,
 
I was wondering if anyone has or could point me to some sort of paper describing
best-practices related to time synchronization and the configuration of daylight
savings.
 
Basically my problem is deciding if I should or shouldn't use Windows' option to
autoconfigure daylight savings but I'd like to see recommendations from known
companies.
 
I am also open to suggestions from the Full-disclosure community but my
recommendations have to be justified to my boss ;)
 
Thanks for any pointers!
 
See ya,
 
Bernardo Santos Wernesback
