I've been following most of the threads on this topic fairly closely and I think you have the gist of it. And an additional problem was introduced by MS with their patch by not dating it so that previous years were correct....so yes...your systems will be off by an hour during 3 weeks in the spring and 1 week in the fall...that is my limited understanding of the situation at least

Long time reader, first time poster. I am new to being a remedy admin. The job was thrust upon me when the old admin left. So my knowledge of the app is VERY limited. Now we have the DST patch to deal with. My environment is 6.03 patch 17 on a windows box with an oracle backend. My development environment is fried and will not be up for the foreseeable future. (old admin did everything in live) I have been told.. Just load it in live. (Good opportunity to learn ?) My question for the list.. What if I just don't load it? If I understand things correctly (limited view). The effect would be that time frames over the time of change would be off by an hour. >From 11:00 PM on 3/10/07 to 4:00 AM 3/11/07 would be 4 hours.. not five. The use of Remedy in my shop if very limited. Call tracking system, limited escalations, no add ins. Reporting is based on volume, not time of response. Then what would the impact really be if I just don't load it ? Thanks for the help with this. I have posed the question to support and our account rep and have gotten no where.
