MICROSOFT AND EXCHANGE 2003 DST CRITICAL UPDATE FOR U.S. USERS

Hi All,

If you are running Microsoft Exchange in your organization and are in the US please be aware that there is a hotfix for the daylight savings time change.

For Exchange Server 2003 SP1 the fix is at:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=931978

If you are running Exchage Server 2003 SP2 the fix is at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926666/

This fix must be in place by March 11, 2007.

If you do not install this fix your users will be an hour early for every appointment they have for 3 weeks until Outlook catches up. (which could be considered a good thing I guess if you have chronically late users I guess) ; )

There are several other Microsoft Products that need to be updated. Check this article from Microsoft to see what you need to do and if your product is affected:
