A good resource to get your updates for your Microsoft products that will be affected by the change in Daylight Savings Time date to March 11th, 2007. You should most be concerned with your Outlook/Exchange server due to the appointment/calendar factor. Hope this is useful.

I feel for all the Exchange admins out there. I have some Outlook users to take care of, but nothing on a large scale. And I'll probably have them label their appointments with the correct start time, then move any manually during the 3-week window in March and 1-week window in October. I don't really trust the Outlook tool to correct them for me.

I still don't understand why Outlook was written to take the time info off the local computer instead of always encoding in UTC.

:(!!!

Yeah, I have been here every weekend doing updates and patches to try and prepare for this, the scary thing is we have some telephony servers that operate on NT 4.0 so that should be an interesting update...

I still remember the whole Y2K bullshit. What a nightmare that was to prepare for.

Yeah, that was a lot of fun, see now we have windows update and it's supposed to prevent anything like that from happening again. However, Microsoft has this habbit of putting out shitty code and the last thing I want is my server automatically updated to crash all the time :(

My dog has already started his adjustment. He gets up at 4:30 instead of 5:00am. And he asks for his "dinner" at 4:30 in the afternoon instead of waiting till 5:00!
But, wait!
Isn't that....backwards? :grr:

Yeah, I am pretty gunshy of the Windows Updates as well. None of my servers get auto-updated.

All my outlook appointments (recurring) are an hour later than usual, but I can't tell if it is this DST thing because I have nothing next week (Spring Break). We shall see if it corrects itself tomorrow.

Our Outlook appointments at work were all an hour later too. I think the issue is a little more global. You will probably need to correct them yourself or have the meeting organizers take care of it.

Judging by the forum timestamps, we am not only saving daylight in an offshore bank somewhere, but also posting an hour into the future.

The flying cars are neat-o!

Future-self says, Past-self, you should have gone to sleep an hour ago when you were typing this. Is that right?

EDIT - it seems to be okay now.
