I was just finishing up some things on a remote server and noticed that it made the switch to DST while I was using it. I didn't notice the clock change (and I am not going to stay up the extra hours here to watch my computers switch over) but it seemed to go well. It didn't crash and the time was correct so I guess the patch worked. The only weird thing I saw was getting on to my e-mail to send the report I was working on. It was past 2:00 a.m. on the east coast where the server is located. I logged into the portal as usual and then tried to get to Outlook Web Access. I was prompted for my credentials again. That doesn't normally happen and I am not 100% sure it wasn't some other problem but I can see it being related to the DST change. If the two systems use Kerberos to exchange my credentials then a difference of an hour in the clocks could be enough to invalidate any security token that was passed with the request. I will have to see if the problem exists later on and report back what I find out. For now I am headed off to bed. After all I will already loose an additional hour of sleep tonight and that can't be good for anything other than my sleep deficit <grin />
