I've searched the forums and can't believe this hasn't come up before, but...what would you recommend I do for Scheduled Tasks timing during Daylight Saving Time?

I would like a process to run at the same time (7 am Eastern Time) every day, whether DST or not. I know the UTC never has DST. Should I set the task to run at both 11:00 UTC (--> 7 am Eastern during summer) and 12:00 UTC (--> 7 am Eastern during winter), with an if statement that checks to see if it's "really" 7 am Eastern? Or is there another recommended way? Thanks.

Interesting question! I can't think of a better solution than the two-scheduled-task approach you describe.
