daylight saving time changes

[bentley45]

In light of the changes to Daylight Saving Time that start in 2007, how will this affect Exchange 2000 and what can be done?
The only Exch 2k info I have found states that you are out of luck unless you have extended support.
Anyone have any insight?

Thanks!

Daylight Saving Time changes? Surely that changes the time which is an operating system issue not Exchange?

As long as the server is showing the right time, Exchange should be happy.

That's what I would have thought, but apparently MS is issuing a patch specifically for Exch2003 related to the time change issue. I haven't found much official info beyond that.

For unpatched E2k, your meetings will be off by one hour for the three weeks that DST transition has shifted. There is a way to mitigate that issue. Outlook is producing a similar rebasing tool to the Exchange rebasing tool, only it is client side. This tool uses MAPI to access data files directly and will work with versions of Outlook 2000 and beyond. if your customer is using one of these versions of Outlook, they can rebase their calendars without the CDO patch, They will need the Windows registry fix, but if they are not entitled to that there are some directions contained in the KB article about how to patch the registry manually.

Now that I think about it, a friend did blog about this a while back. I believe the bottom line is that it only affects the users significantly if they are scheduling appointments with users in different time zones during this time.
