Symptoms

Next step

On October 5, 2022, the Jordanian government made an official announcement ending the winter-time Daylight Saving Time (DST) time zone change. Starting at 12:00 a.m. Friday, October 28, 2022, the official time will not advance by an hour and will permanently shift to the UTC + 3 time zone. 

The impact of this change is as follows: 

1. Clocks will not be advanced by an hour at 12:00 a.m. on October 28, 2022 for the Jordan time zone.

2. The Jordan time zone will permanently shift to the UTC + 3 time zone.

Symptoms if no update is installed and the workaround is not used on devices in the Jordan time zone on October 28, 2022 or later:

• Time shown in Windows and apps will not be correct.

• Apps and cloud services which use date and time for integral functions, such as Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Outlook, notifications and scheduling of meetings might be 60 minutes off.

• Automation using date and time, such as Scheduled tasks, might not run at the expected time.

• Timestamp on transactions, files, and logs will be 60 minutes off.

• Operations that rely on time-dependent protocols such as Kerberos might cause authentication failures when attempting to logon or access resources.

• Windows devices and apps outside of Jordan might also be affected if they are connecting to servers or devices in Jordan or if they are scheduling or attending meetings taking place in Jordan from another location or time zone. Windows devices outside of Jordan should not use the workaround, as it would change their local time on the device.

This issue is addressed in KB5020010. This update will not install automatically. To apply this update, you can check for updates and select the optional preview to download and install.

If you cannot install this update, you can mitigate this issue on devices in Jordan by doing either of the following on October 28, 2022:

• Select the Windows logo key, type Date and time, and select Date and time settings. From the Date & time settings page, clear the Adjust for daylight saving time automatically check box.

• Go to Control Panel > Clock and Region > Date and Time > Change time zone and clear the Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time check box.

Important We recommend using ONLY the above workaround to mitigate the issue with time created by the new Daylight Savings Time in Jordan. We do NOT recommend using any other workaround, as they can create inconsistent results and might create serious issues if done incorrectly.

After this update or a later Windows update is installed, domain join operations might be unsuccessful and error "0xaac (2732): NERR_AccountReuseBlockedByPolicy" occurs. Additionally, text stating "An account with the same name exists in Active Directory. Re-using the account was blocked by security policy" might be displayed.

Affected scenarios include some domain join or re-imaging operations where a computer account was created or pre-staged by a different identity than the identity used to join or re-join the computer to the domain.

For more information about this issue, see KB5020276—Netjoin: Domain join hardening changes.

Note Consumer Desktop editions of Windows are unlikely to experience this issue.

This issue is resolved in KB5023764.

After installing this update, some types of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections might have handshake failures.

Note for developers: Affected connections might send multiple frames in a single input buffer. Specifically, one or more complete records with a partial record that is less than 5 bytes might be sent in a single buffer.

When encountering this issue, your app will receive SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE when the connection fails.

To address this issue, install update KB5020447. Then, we recommend that you install the latest security update for your device.

Note Update KB5020447 will not install automatically. To apply this update, check for updates and then choose the Optional update to download and install.
