At work, I updated my Windows machine today, and sure enough, I looked
at an Outlook weekly appointment for next week that should show for
9am. It shows as 10am. For the next three weeks, the appointment shows
at 10am. Then starting in April, the appointment shows correctly again
-- 9am for the remaining weeks of the year. Even the last week in
October shows correctly, suggesting to me that the MS patch fixed only
the March dates.
There is a tool to correct appts in the 'in between weeks'. It needs to
be run on both the client and, assuming exchange, the server side. [1]
As I understand it the server just stores the date and time, but not the
UTC offset. This is why there are sooooo many problems with creating
meetings across timezones in exchange/outlook. If I create an all day
appt in PST, it shows as starting at 9pm the day before and ending at
9pm the day of, in EST. Lovely, eh?
