2007 Daylight Savings Time change for Windows
Changes are coming to your clocks! A new law passed that increased the Daylight Savings Time for the United States by a total of four weeks starting in 2007. That isn’t so much a big deal to have the incorrect time your microwave, but if your computer time is wrong you can be late to appointments, have issues with synchronization of data and other weird problems. Since the automatic change of time is “built in” to your Windows operating system, it doesn’t know about the new law and the change of dates for the time.
As such, you must apply a software update to tell your computer the new dates for when Daylight Savings Time is in effect. Microsoft is trying to get the word out that you will need to make an update to your PC and your servers for this to occur. This update varies depending upon what operating system you have, what kind of mobile devices you use, and what kind of services you have running on your server. I’ve listed some important links here for you to get the required patches.

For those with a Windows Server and Exchange Server supported by HLP
You may elect to do the updates yourself; however, we recommend that you have HLP perform these updates. For this to occur, ALL mobile phones and laptops that receive E-mail must be in the office at the same time for the patches to be applied correctly. This is important. To schedule this, please contact our service department at 703-536-8600. You will be charged off your block for these update. We estimate that it will take about two hours assuming you have all of the devices present.
For those without servers, you may want to do the updates yourself. Naturally, we’d be happy to assist you if you would prefer. To help, here are some links:
For Stand Alone PCs running Windows XP (and Server 2003) that do not use Outlook

For Stand Alone PCs that use Outlook but do not connect to an Exchange Server
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931667/
For Windows Mobile Devices without an Exchange Server
If you have a stand alone PC and a Windows Mobile device (where you do not connect to an Exchange server) you can update your mobile device software directly over the air by pointing your mobile device browser to:
