Time within server do not match comparing Now command vs. GUI

Asked by exhaust in Windows 2000 Server

Tags: Windows Server 2000 Service Pack 4

First of all I'm simply supporting this server but did not build it. I have the ability to go to a command prompt and type "Now" and this will show the current time this is what the output looks like.

Problem is if you compare this with the Date/Time properties, output of Now is 1hr ahead after the DST fallback. If I uncheck Automatically adjust clock for DST saving changes both times matches.

I need both time to match up or it causes issues with a custom in-house application.

Question:
1. Where does Now command get it's time source? This could be from an ActivePerl product I suspect that allows this command to work.
