“If you have been patching all along you probably have everything installed. “I think for a corporation probably 20% of their machines have turned over since spring so it is probably that percentage of machines that could be impacted and need to be checked,” he says. Schultze says the DST issue won’t be nearly as big as it was in March. Microsoft offers a support center for IT pros.

However, patch vendors such as Shavlik have built a replica of the extended support patch and make it available to their customers. A DST patch for products in extended support, such as Windows 2000, XP Gold or XP SP1, is $4,000 from Microsoft. The patch supports Vista, Windows Server 2003 and XP SP2.
#NETWORK RADAR WINDOWS UPDATE#
The good news is that Windows users who use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft’s online patch site, will have had the DST patch automatically loaded onto systems configured to run WSUS. On the Microsoft Windows side, Schultze says even those new Vista machines will need a patch. “It is the computers you just bought last month that might not have the patches on them or the systems you have rebuilt that need the patch reapplied,” he says. For more than 20 years Earth Networks has operated the worlds largest and most comprehensive weather observation, lightning detection, and climate networks. Schultze says machines that were patched last spring are set.
“Companies without patch management processes that scrambled in March are going to scramble again.” “That will make you an hour late to all your meetings,” says Eric Schultze, chief security architect for patch vendor Shavlik Technologies. If those systems have not been updated with the correct DST patches they will revert to standard time a week early. Now the “fall back” side of the DST issue could be a problem for those who rolled out new computers or applications after March 11. Be aware that network time servers will not solve the problem.That is the day unpatched systems will revert to standard time, which is one week before the new date Nov.
