Daylight saving time laws were enacted in 2005 that take affect this March 11th 2007. This could cause issues with
computers that rely on time accuracy of items like email, databases, metadata, etc. Listed below is compiled
information to the best of my ability on the systems I have in place and their required patch level to minimize the
impact of these changes. I do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information.
After compiling this info, I was forwarded this great link by Rhon Fitzwater.
