We have deployed the 931836 patch and validated with tzedit, however some
appilcations report GMT even though our timezone is Central (US). Has anyone
else experienced this? I know that if you re-select Central Time in the
clock settings it will fix this but I need to have an automated fix. Can
anyone help?

FYI - This is for Windows 2003 Server and the timezone listed is correct but
apps are still timestamping logs and such as GMT. Thanks.

As you don't mention the specific applications that report GMT, it's hard to
offer specific suggestions. If you believe it's a bug in the hotfix, I'd
suggest that you do two things:

1. Report the bug here:

http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactbug

2. Post further in an appropriate Microsoft Windows newsgroup, such as:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

(Above assumes you're using XP).
