Impact on Express Software Manager
Details
Express Software Manager stores all date/time values in UTC and will, therefore, continue to operate as expected assuming the appropriate Microsoft operating system updates (
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst) are applied to all machines on which an Express Software Manager component is installed. However, as Microsoft states on their web site:
"Unless certain updates are applied to your computer, the time zone settings for your computer's system clock may be incorrect during this four-week period."
UTC date and time must be uniform between client and server-side component machines. If the required Microsoft updates are not applied, Express Software Manager may report incorrect client activity dates and times or fail to collect data.
