> My question is: what about clients that DO NOT specify a preference server, and manage preferences locally - will the above bug affect them? In other words, will they need to clear their own time zone preference? Yes. The bug occurs when the TZ variable is set - which is what happens when you set a timezone within the client application. You can read more about this at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb264729.aspx A: For customers who rely on the TZ environment variable for the DST information, they will get outdated DST information for 2007 and beyond (i.e., they will get DST information according to the previous system). Microsoft is currently working on a fix for this issue and will post information about its availability on the Visual Studio Support <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718682.aspx> page. In the interim, developers are advised to test their applications to determine the impact of the DST update on their applications. This issue is also fixed in Visual Studio code name "Orcas". -David J. Easter Sr. Product Manager, Service Management Business Unit BMC Software, Inc.

Remedy's DST documentation mentions the following defect: SW00256258 SW00256530 BMC Remedy User shows a one-hour difference in time for date and time fields if the time zone locale is set through the AR System User Preference form even if an operating-system-level DST patch is installed on the system. Workaround: Users should use BMC Remedy User without setting the Time Zone in the AR System User Preference form My question is: what about clients that DO NOT specify a preference server, and manage preferences locally - will the above bug affect them? In other words, will they need to clear their own time zone preference? Has anyone been able to test this? Has anyone gotten a straight answer from BMC? I'd hate to have to visit every desktop just to clear their time zone preference! -Aaron * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SunCom is the wireless company that's committed to doing things differently.
