Daylight Saving Time Updates
There are daylight time changes coming in mid March and
you need to update your system so your computer time is
correct. Once you do, appointments falling in the affected
periods will be off an hour (Mar 11 - Apr 1 and the first
week of Nov).
Windows update will install a patch that reflects the new
daylight times, on Windows XP and 2003 systems. Users of
older OS's will need to make the changes themselves. (Vista
has the changes included.)
Outlook 2007 will offer to fix appointment times on the next restart after the time zone
update is installed. If you use an older version of Outlook
there is a tool available for download to fix the
appointments.
Administrators may prefer to update all of their users
appointments at once, from the server.
Exchange Server Time Zone Update Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930879
The time zone update tool is found in Outlook 2007's Tools,
Options, Calendar options dialog or can be downloaded from
Microsoft.
