My recommendation to my users was not to rely overmuch on either the Outlook or the Exchange tool, but to a) print their calendars, b) manually verify appointment times, c) put the time of the meeting in the subject line of every appointment during the affected period, and d) rebook appointments as necessary. Most of them ignored my recommendations. Sigh.
I ran the Outlook tool against each of my public folder calendars (isn't THAT fun!) and most of the appointments were corrected to the proper time, but the tool simply ignored some of them. I warned people, but I feel like Chicken Little here - I'm running around telling people the sky is falling, and everyone is yawning. OK, fine, I did my part. I patched my servers, I sent out the warnings. I can't manually fix calendars for 5,000 users. Personally, I have a serious bone to pick with the brainiacs who thought changing the date of DST - or ever even HAVING DST in the first place - was a good idea. The whole concept is idiotic.

I just got a call from a colleague's wife ... at her workplace, all her appointments (both recurring and non-recurring) that she created months ago, are all now one hour earlier (from 9 to 8) ... I think I am NOT going to run either the Exchange tool nor distribute the Outlook tool ... I am just going to send out instructions for users to add the correct date and time to the subjects on their appointments during these gray periods ... one more question ... will they have to keep editing items in the gray period forever ?(if we stayed on Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003)? or will new appointments that are set on patched clients OS'es be Ok from now on? ugh ... I have to go back to 1976 again ... that was a good year for me ... thanks -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kennedy, Jim Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 12:01 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: DST - back to the future > -----Original Message----- > From: Wohlgemuth, Mike > Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 11:57 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: DST - back to the future > then I ran tzmove against this test users mailbox ... it didn't do > anything to the recurring appointments and moved the single > appointments one hour ahead (from 9 to 8) !!!!!!!! Same thing happened here. I have a lot of users that are probably going to have to manually fix a lot of appointments. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
