Situation

Are any of the ZENworks products in the ZENworks Suite affected by the Timezone change in Western Australia 2006?

Resolution

The products in the ZENworks Suite read the time from Java and/or from the server that hosts ZENworks and do not store time zone informaiton in the ZENworks code. Because of this, the products in the ZENworks Suite should not have any undesired effects related to the Western Austrailia time change.
See KB 3935569 for details on how ZENworks Asset Management may be affected by the time change.
