I have a Windows 2000 domain with both 2000 and XP workstations. The
Windows 2000 machine seem fine, but on the Windows XP machines, in the Time
Zone settings(Eastern), the checkbox for Daylight savings is unchecked. It
is Checked on the Windows 2000 domain controller. Is there any way to force
this to be checked on the XP boxes?(It is creating scheduling problems with
Outlook.)

Don't know much about XP, but in the other OS's you just
click on the box to enable Daylight Savings changes, then
click 'Apply' and 'OK'.

I apologize if this is a dumb answer, but you didn't say
whether or not you have tried that.

If for whatever reason that doesn't work on the XP
machines, then worst case scenario would be to 'unclick'
it in the W2000 unit. At least all nodes would be on
the 'same schedule', even if it was off by an hour during
the summer. It would be right for 1/2 a year anyway.

Setting it manually does work, but would require a visit to each of our 1500
computers. Not to mention, it wouldn't correct the problem, just bypass it.
The windows XP machines should be getting the settings, but for some reason
they aren't.
 
This might help, registry editing:

(With Daylight Saving ON)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"Bias"=dword:ffffffc4
"StandardName"="Central Europe Standard Time"
"StandardBias"=dword:00000000
"StandardStart"=hex:00,00,0a,00,05,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DaylightName"="Central Europe Daylight Time"
"DaylightBias"=dword:ffffffc4
"DaylightStart"=hex:00,00,03,00,05,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"ActiveTimeBias"=dword:ffffff88

(With Daylight Saving OFF)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"Bias"=dword:ffffffc4
"StandardName"="Central Europe Standard Time"
"StandardBias"=dword:00000000
"StandardStart"=hex:00,00,0a,00,05,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DaylightName"="Central Europe Standard Time"
"DaylightBias"=dword:00000000
"DaylightStart"=hex:00,00,0a,00,05,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"ActiveTimeBias"=dword:ffffffc4
"DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet"=dword:00000001

Save correct registry file and apply on XP client machines.
Remote registry editing or apply registry setting through some console, ...

PS: Or tell every user to do it by him self (to check the box) q=) send system message
