PatchLink Delivers Automated Daylight Saving Time Remediation for All Major Platforms and Foreign Languages.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- In order to help businesses and IT administrators meet this year's congressionally mandated daylight saving time (DST) change which starts on March 11, 2007, PatchLink([R]) Corporation is providing automated DST remediation for all major operating systems, including legacy Windows versions, Solaris, and HP UX, among others. While some vendors provide DST patches for only Microsoft platforms, PatchLink delivers more than 27 multi-lingual patches because it understands that the true makeup of today's enterprise IT environment is heterogeneous in nature.

Just as with Y2K, IT administrators are faced with a daunting task of assessing their network, checking which systems are in compliance and updating all systems with the latest DST patches before the March 11 deadline. To help automate this time consuming and potentially very costly task, PatchLink is providing its customers worldwide with automated detection and remediation of the DST issue so they can test and automatically deploy these patches in a timely manner.

PatchLink recommends organizations do the following:

* Assess your network assets for DST Compliance

* Prioritize non-compliant systems based on criticality

* Test and deploy across all non-compliant systems on or before the March 11 deadline

"Y2K was the last time that many of these legacy servers had to be updated," said Chris Andrew, vice president of security technologies, PatchLink. "While there may not be a huge number of these systems in an organization, they are most likely running many critical business processes, and thus need to be updated with the latest patches."

Andrew continued: "Also, companies based in the U.S. as well as international companies will be affected by these new time changes so it's another great reason to ensure that all assets within an organization can be scanned for missing patches and remediated. Not patching these DST issues before the deadline may cause business disruption, frustrate customers and add unwanted costs."

Requests for updates outside of vendor provided patches can be developed through PatchLink's Professional Services. Please contact 480.970.1025 for additional information, pricing and service options.

For IT administrators running Microsoft Exchange Server, PatchLink highly recommends using vendor recommendations before deploying the patches:

* Running the Exchange Time Zone update tool against servers, users, or both;

* Push out the Outlook Time Zone update tool to the clients and let users update their own mailboxes.
