DST patch not working? Hmmm....

I'm running WSUS, all my workstations are XP, and running Outlook 2003, connected to our Exchange 2003 (SP2) server. I see that my Executive Assistant's PC has the DST patch installed, however she just said that all her appointments on March 11th and 12th are "off an hour".....The patch is also installed on my Exchange Server, however I have not yet installed the CDO patch (926666 I think)....Did i miss something, or will that patch make everything "normal" again?

Thanks.

No. You must run the Exchange tool against the Exchange server to correct those 1 hour differences in calendar appointments. No you will need to do some careful planning to see whether you have a lot of single instance appointments or reacurring appointments.

Check out the general sequence of update options section, the tool that you may want to run is the Exchange Calendar Update Tool. You can also live with the time difference for that few week period, have users re-create calendar appoiintments during that time, or there is also a desktop version that the user can use against there own calendar.

I had good luck with the Exchange tool, fixed up all of our reaccuring appointments.

Thanks, backing up my Information Store right now and then running the tool (926666).

AARRGGH!!! So my XP clients have 931836 installed, and I successfully installed the 926666 patch on Exchange last night and rebooted. My Executive Assistants calendar itmes are now 1 hour off (earlier). So meetings that are supposed to happen at 10:00amPST, are now showing up as 9:00amPST. I don't know what to do at this point...please help.
