logging

We've recently gone into British Summer Time in the UK. One of our techs, anticipating the move, decided to change the time on one of our servers. Bad move.

This server happens to have a number of time-based incidents logged to it, and as a result of this change, the times are unreliable.

I'm trying to build a concrete timeline of when the clock was changed so I can apply corrective action to our time-based records. My question is:-

Does Windows record date and time changes anywhere so I can get hard, actual data?

Thanks
