Why we need a solution

Like in Belgium, lots of regions (mostly Europe and North America) use Daylight Saving Time (DST), also known as summer and wintertime.

Citrix has a nice article about this issue: CTX200058 – Provisioning Services and Daylight Saving Time but some extra info might be useful.
