Time zone issue
Hey all,
i am asking question regarding the following Microsoft article
http://support.microsoft.c om/kb/2443 685
Few Points to know :
1. My current domain controller / AD is windows 2003
2. My Exchange 2007 server at Windows 2008 R2
3. Where our company employees located all over the world and work with OUR exchange server here in Israel
4. There is shift at Time Zone now at US and usually at this time there are problems with hour differences
My question is
In order to fix the problem KB 2443685 suggests installing the patch to OS system now do I need to install it to all OS’s in my organization or only for Exchange and domain controller
If all windows Os (7 and xp) has the patch, it doesn’t matter what does the other side has?
What is the best possible way to solve this problem
Any suggestion will be welcomed

Hi,
As per KB KB 2443685, you need to install this for all OS.
You can get is downloaded in KB 2443685 itself and run the setup for appropriate OS.

That is correct you must apply these time change fixes to all OSes. If not you can see time not updating properly through the domain. You need to install all pacthes for all OSes within your environment I know this is a pain but if you don't you will see issues.

hehe the problem isn’t the time here in Israel because it didn’t change here yet :)
But it did change in US and from this comes the issue that i won’t to prevent
Because what happens is when an employee in US connects to our network through VPN or
Blackberry that uses our Exchange 2007 server from Israel send a meeting request through the calendar to client near him there is shift of 1 hour for some of clients not for everyone

if you use ntp wont exchange handle it at the time will be correct all the time well within say 5 seconds

the problem is that our employees at US are not in Domain so they doesnt talk to our NTP

Thanks for answer Ian and especially Kevin ¿
Kevin: if the exchange is already patched and the person that sends the mail is already patched
Is it possible that if the third party person (Customer from different exchange, domain who didn’t install this patch) receives a mail / calendar from a person that did install the patch? Could this be the offset problem ?
An Example for this problem "
Yup
Our 1130 XXX meeting showed at 1230. We moved it to 1130, now it shows 930 for him and it should show 830.
