📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how to synchronize a Windows 10 PC to a UTC server and have it adjust automatically for EST and DST, then broadcast this adjusted time to other devices. The original poster wants to use this setup to ensure devices like PLCs, which need time adjusted for their timezone and DST, can sync accurately. Responders clarify that modern systems automatically handle NTP synchronization, timezone adjustments, and DST, suggesting that the operating system manages these configurations without needing manual adjustments for those devices.

I am trying to setup a Win 10 PC to pull UTC from server, adjust it for EST and automatically adjust for DST and allow other device incapable of automatically adjusting to pull this adjusted time from the IP of the Win 10 PC.

but what about plc's and other devices that need NTP time but already adjusted for time zone and DST ? I can set my server to UTC time zone and set the clock manually but that doesn't make the time accurate nor does it adjust for DST.
