To accommodate the Daylight Savings Time change in March 2007, most of the systems will likely need either patches or manual fixes.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 passed by the United States Congress on July 29, 2005 and signed into law by President George W. Bush on August 8, 2005 changed the dates for Daylight Saving Time(DST) to begin on the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November starting in 2007.
DST changes are still hard-coded for the 1st Sunday of April and the last Sunday of October in many operating systems, applications, computers and network devices including firewalls, routers, switches, NTP appliances, time clocks, PBX systems, IVR/ACD systems, cell phones, PDAs, photo copiers, fax machines, and all the other devices on your network that recognize or require time/date to operate properly.
To accommodate the DST change, most of those systems will likely need either patches or manual fixes. The fastest way to find vendor patches is to query one of the popular search engines for ' vendorname or domainname daylight saving time 2007'.
