DST Update

Unless you missed the memo, you’re probably already aware that due to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Daylight Savings Time change will be occurring 3 weeks earlier this year in the US.

If you did miss the memo, you’ve got some catching up to do. Virtually every device and every operating system that has a clock will need to be updated. This has an impact to everything from logging to calendar appointments.

Here is a short list of some of the updates I have found:

Microsoft: Preparing for Daylight Saving Time changes in 2007

Cisco: U.S. Daylight Saving Time (DST) Changes for 2007

Sun: Daylight Saving Time (DST) Changes for Australia (2006), Canada (2007), United States (2007) and Others

Red Hat: Are my systems affected in the 2006 and 2007 Daylight Savings Time (DST) changes that is occurring in several countries?

Oracle: Oracle Database Daylight Saving Time Update Guide

Blackberry: Daylight Saving Time 2007

This is by no means a comprehensive list. I thought it would be helpful if I listed some of the major vendor’s DST information, but you should look at anything running software on your network, whether it’s a network device, appliance, server, or application.
