A lot, actually - especially if you are using Microsoft software for your workstation or server!

The United States Congress passed legislation changing Daylight Savings Time - and many workstations and servers use internal clocks to make sure that calendars are in synch - both for times and for dates.  And while the United States and Canada are both following the new rules - Mexico (for example) isn’t.

For some workstations - you might need to adjust the clock on your workstation. But you’ll also need to update your workstation, and make sure all of your mobile devices are updated, too

For others, though - this might cause trouble with calendar or other sharing applications, with third party vendors and so on. If you are using online tools, or software created by another vendor - you should ask them to let you know if their tools will work with the new DST rules.

And if you are using any of these Microsoft Products - you’ll want to work with your vendor to make sure that the appropriate steps are taken to make sure you are up do date!
