relevant to
N0030 (Newly Updated)—Daylight Savings Time: Beginning in 2007, Daylight Savings Time in the United States and Canada is starting three weeks earlier (on March 11th, the second Sunday in March) and ending one week later (on November 4th, the first Sunday in November). Unless certain Microsoft updates are applied to your computers, it is possible that the time zone settings for your computer's system clock may be incorrect during these periods. Several Microsoft products are affected, including Windows, Exchange Server, and Outlook. Note that Microsoft has made additional Daylight Savings Time and time zone changes since those released in January 2007. For full information, including directions to Knowledge Base articles, recommended preparation, and general sequence of update actions, see the Microsoft Daylight Saving Time Help and Support Center, at http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst.
Provided that you apply the applicable Windows updates to all your computers, Amicus products are not directly affected by this change. However, those who use Amicus third-party integrations that affect your Calendar scheduling (like Outlook, Palm and other mobile devices) should ensure that they apply any patches or updates made available by those third-party vendors and follow their recommendations for avoiding appointment inconsistencies.
Remember to keep your Amicus Server and all Workstation date/time settings in sync. Failure to do so may affect the accuracy of system-generated items, including notifications.
It is strongly recommended that you check your Amicus appointments during the adjustment periods to confirm that they are correctly scheduled.
