Hello.
I have been going through articles on Microsoft's website and on others for
hours now. I still have not found what I'm looking for.

Can anyone tell me what all needs to be done to avoid problems with the
revised Daylight Savings Time in 2007? Specifically, I am running Exchange
2000 SP3 on Windows 2000 Server SP4. I have Windows 2000 Pro SP4 and Windows
XP SP1 desktops running a combination of Outlook 2002 SP3 (XP) and 2003 SP2.
I need to make sure that Calendar appointments show up correctly when
Daylight Savings kicks in early this year.

What do I need to patch in my environment? Outlook? Desktop OS? Exchange
Server? OS on Exchange box?

If you know of any comprehensive web article that lays it all out, that
would be great too. So far, I have only been able to find articles that deal
with the issue piece meal.

Thanks.

More than a week ago, I opened up a case with Microsoft about this. They just
posted the following, which is ugly and confusing, but so is the
situation...It's a must read...

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly what I was looking at. So if I am understanding this
article correctly, I would do the following four steps:
1. Patch the server OS that Exchange runs on
2. Patch the desktop OS that Outlook runs on
3. Patch Exchange for CDO
4. Run the Outlook Time Zone Data Update tool, either on the Exchange server
or on the PC that Outlook is installed on.

I do have a couple of questions:
Does the Outlook Time Zone Data tool update Public Folders that hold
appointments (Calendar), when run on the Exchange server?
If I apply all patches and run the OTZD tool and then a user creates a valid
appointment that falls within the extended Daylight Savings Time window and I
run the OTZD tool again, will the appointment go from being at the correct
time to being off by one hour?


Thanks.
