Microsoft Exchange Calendar Update Tool

DST giving you sleepless nights? Deploy the tool yourself with this handy VM. In fact, deploy it as many times as you like.

The Virtual Machine for Microsoft Exchange Calendar Update Tool is now available on the Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=03D4251D-370F-486D-BB2F-64FF14C546AD&displaylang=en. You can download this workgroup system, join it to your domain, and use it to run the Exchange Calendar Update Tool.

Enjoy or ignore. Depends on your geographical location really :-)

Exchange Server and the DST changes

This one was asked a fair few times yesterday at the community launch so I thought I'd clear up a handful of points.

For the full SP, check out Eileen's blog article: http://blogs.technet.com/eileen_brown/archive/2007/01/24/daylight-savings-time-what-you-need-to-do.aspx

For the really short version, do you have Exchange servers in the US? If not, IGNORE THE PROBLEM.

If you do, there is a hotfix for CDO for Exchange 2003 now and for Outlook 2003 coming shortly.

If you have Exchange 2000, it is out of support so you'll need to live with the problem for the 3 intervening weeks.

If you have Exchange 5.5, use the DST problems as a reason to upgrade to Exchange 2007 :-)
