    where we are puling the time from, primary IC server, has the correct time, but the phone have jumped ahead a week early it seems. How\where do we check to determine when the phones are to spring forward? TIA Shurla

    I would first look at DHCP to see if Option 004 (Time Server) or Option 042 (NTP/SNTP server) is set to tell the phone where to get it's time setting. The Location settings under Regionalization also have a setting to tell entities whether to get their time from the IC server or another source, so check that setting in IA as well. Also, on the phone itself, press the Menu button, Status, TCP/IP Parameters, and scroll down to the SNTP Address - that should tell you where the phone is getting its time from.

    And all three of those locations have the correct time, just the phones are wrong. Thanks, Shurla

    What does the GMT Offset show on the phone? Is that correct? (In Status just below the SNTP Server info)

    I forgot to ask what version of IC...I have a memory of there being a problem withing the past few years of phones shifting to DST early...vague memory...

    We have the same issue today, and the same last year at this time. Phones are Polycom VVX400 mostly. Server is 2016R4 patch 2. I am told a patch will fix it, but it seems this minor setting should be able to be adjusted. When I review the Polycom config files, they are correct. We have a few phones that are not managed, and because they use config files delivered via TFTP, they are fine. The month/date/start time of DST is correct. We had hoped we would be allowed to patch before this date, but budget didn't allow for it yet.

    On the phone itself, SNTP is blank, and GMT offset is -0. So I don't think these values are displaying from the phone menu.

    That just means they are not set by DHCP. So, it would go back to the Time Zone setting on the Managed IP Phone configuration and the Time Server setting in the Location.

    This is set correctly. However, I can change it to a different time zone and restart the phone. This would be a workaround for us if we wanted to restart all of our phones tonight, and then again over the weekend....

    We have this too 2016 R4 P5. As I understand this is fixed in patch 6 (or any other upgrade). I don't know the number of the KB article, but here is an excerpt: What is occurring is some versions of CIC are passing an incorrect value for Daylight Savings Time (DST) to the phone: tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.fixedDayEnable="0" tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.month="3" tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.date="1" This has been resolved IC-140435, where the parameter is changed to an 8 indicating the second Sunday of the month: tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.fixedDayEnable="0" tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.month="3" tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.date="8"

    Where would I find these settings? I can see them in our stand alone phones, but where does the provisioning server hold these settings? Thanks, Nicole

    That's what I'm interested in seeing as well. Shurla

    the time offset is set to 0. Yes it did happen either last year or the year before. We are running 2105 r3. Shurla

    Can you all fix this please, so we don't do this next year, or give us the work around

    We are running 2018 R1 Patch 5 and had the same issue, so i don't think it is corrected in a higher version. To correct in our network i simple did a reload from Managed IP Phones, which pushed the correct time, without causing any active calls to drop or the phone to reboot.

    As mentioned by tcannon earlier in the thread, it was already fixed long ago. You have to upgrade to a newer patch or release.

    Of course, Scott says he has the same problem in 2018 R1 p5, so quite possibly a regression along the way :-( Submit support tickets, make sure it is documented.

    Very interesting, I've rebooted my phone multiple times but it doesn't change the time. Shurla

    I used PolycomSim.exe to simulate registering one of the phones. Those configuration settings are in phone configuration file that is sent to the phones when they register.

    2018 R1 had the same issue? Just a reload fixed it? No adjustment to time zone offset? Thanks, Nicole
