Time Zone Update
Beginning in 2007, the United States daylight saving time period is being extended to comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Daylight saving time will start at 2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March (three weeks earlier) and will end at 2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November (one week later).
Microsoft® Windows® operating systems are affected by these changes and must be updated. dcLINK® uses Microsoft Windows and its time zone values and consequently will also need to be updated.It will be necessary for you to update and test your Microsoft Windows operating system and dcLINK installation prior to March 11, 2007, which is when daylight saving time begins in the US.
DSI is providing this eXtranet page to assist all dcLINK clients with updating their operating systems and dcLINK installation to comply with the new daylight saving time settings.
