About this listen
In this episode of Behind the Screens, Jason Samuel uncovers a deceptively simple yet critical issue that’s haunted enterprise IT teams for years — Daylight Saving Time and its disruptive impact on Virtual Desktop Agents (VDAs). From ghost logins to failed domain controller authentications, time drift was more than a minor inconvenience — it was a silent system breaker.
Jason breaks down why Windows machines misinterpret system time, how Citrix Provisioning has delivered a much-needed fix, and why this change reflects deep empathy for real-world IT challenges. Whether you're a Citrix admin or a sysadmin who's wrestled with these hidden gremlins, this short episode delivers clarity, solutions, and a moment of nerdy appreciation for time done right.
Listen in — because sometimes, fixing time means saving hours.
