Energy Policy Act of 2005

March 2007

As many of you are aware, the US Government made a legal change when President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This act changes the dates on which Daylight Savings Time is observed -- to start from the second Sunday in March (previously, the first Sunday in April) to the first Sunday in November (previously, the last Sunday in October).

Presidio wanted to take this time to make sure that you were aware of these upcoming changes as some network devices will require workarounds and others will require code upgrades.

The following website gives info on workarounds, code upgrades, and list out when third party upgrades are necessary such as when you have software loaded on a server running a Microsoft operating system.
