Default DST change causes appointments to move forward 1 hour!

A repost from an earlier post I answered tonight:

"As explained by Indiana resident Russ Valentine MVP - Outlook, the Indiana
mess is so fouled up that any suggestion for how to fix the appointments
will only engender frustration, outrage, and flaming alcoholism. (yeah, I
meant that flaming part!)

You are probably best served by selecting the time zone and DST settings
that work for you and then adjust the times individually for those items
with messed up times."

Hope you have better luck, or your county had a better idea of where to
jump.

After furious head scratching, Jeff Teel asked:

| If I would have had my time zone set to the (GMT -5:00) Eastern Time
| (US & Canada) but just not had the box checked over the last years
| that Indiana did not change time in the Spring and Fall would my
| Outlook calendar appointments have moved ahead if I simply checked
| the box for my server and workstations to change automatically or
| would the appointments still move ahead? If I understand the
| Microsoft paper correctly the appointments would stay the same.
|
| I found a Microsoft workaround to resolve my appointment issue but I
| can find the address now. Basically it said to export the Calendar
| Appointment to a file before changing the Time Zone, Change the time
| Zone to the desired zone and Import them back into the calendar. It
| also said that the (GMT -5:00) Indiana (East) time zone was obsolete
| now.
