command updates all date and time values in these sites that were modified
before a particular date that you specify.

Assume that you installed an update that created a new time
zone definition. Now you want all sites in
the farm that have a specific time zone definition to
be updated to the new time zone definition. However,
you want to
maintain the
correct date and time values.
In this scenario, run the following command:

that is found in the
Timezone.xml file. (ID 32 represents Buenos Aires and
Georgetown.).
And 85 is the ID of the new time zone definition that is found in Timezone.xml file.
(ID 85 represents Buenos Aires.) YYYYMMDD is the date on which you installed the update that created the
new time zone definition. Only
those date and time values that are created after this date will be
updated.

that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
