MicrosoftWhen I right click my clock -> Adjust date and time -> select Time zone = "(UTC-07:00) Pacific Time (British Columbia)" this seems like the correct option to pick in the user interface, however in Powershell when I run Get-TimeZone I see:
Id : British Columbia Standard Time
DisplayName : (UTC-07:00) Pacific Time (British Columbia)
StandardName : British Columbia Standard Time
DaylightName : British Columbia Daylight Time
BaseUtcOffset : -08:00:00
SupportsDaylightSavingTime : True
All of this seems incorrect. We don't have "Standard" time anymore so the ID seems wrong. Why is there a different value for StandardName and DaylightName; shouldn't they both say "Daylight Time" since we will never go back to Standard again? Why is the BaseUtcOffset -8 when the correct value is -7 and the DisplayName specifically says -7 in the name? All of this feels buggy, makes me uneasy, and caused a lot of confusion when deploying changes to servers.
As set out at B.C.'s new time zone (Pacific time) - Province of British Columbia, "B.C. has adopted permanent year-round daylight saving time". It makes sense to me that Microsoft has implemented the time zone this way.
My above comment was removed for some reason. Posting again as this issue hasn't been still resolved.
Everything Microsoft did around this patch and guidance released seemed rushed and not fully tested.
That is why we opted to set our time zone to (UTC-07:00) Arizona, until the patch has been tested and been around a bit
