DST and Notification Services

I need some clarification on Daylight Saving Time changes for SQL
Server 2005.
I read MicroSoft Article 931815.
Per the doc, I have determined that I have Notification Services
installed (determined via registry).
However, I do not seem to have any Notification Services to stop (step
1) and not sure what name to use for NSMainDatabase (running the osql
script in step 5).
>From the SQL Server Management Studio, I can determine that I have
version 9.0.242.0 of Notification Services, but it tells me that NO
instances are registered on this machine.
So, please advise if you have any input. I am about 80% confident that
I don't need to do this fix.
Thanks,
RogerIf you do not have an instance of Notification Services deployed, then you
do not have to worry about patching. The binary files of Notification
Services are not affected. You have to apply the update only when you create
an instance. If there are no services running and no NS* databases, then
really nothing to do. Also, for instances deployed after SQL Server 2005 SP2
is installed you do not have to do anything, as instances created with SP2
will have the correct DST info.
