DST 2007: December 2007 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows operating systems

DST 2007: Hotfix released for Exchange Server 2003 Message Tracking issue

DST 2007: As predicted, we didn’t save much energy afterall!

It seems the early verdicts are in, and as predicted by various experts, including the Department of Energy [read previous post “DST 2007: DoE isn’t convinced new DST will save energy!“], we didn’t end up saving much energy in the first three weeks of this extended Daylight Savings Time to justify this shift, and all […]

DST 2007: Why we needed to rebase appointments

I thought I wouldn’t need to post about DST 2007 issues after it kicked in on Sunday March 11th this year, but apparently that doesn’t seem to be the case. In a previous post (that I’ve referred to a number of times now) titled “DST 2007: Understanding what needs to be done and how to […]

DST 2007: Is there an Outlook DST “patch”?

There seems to be some confusion about whether Outlook itself has a DST 2007 patch. As noted in a previous post “DST 2007: Understanding what needs to be done and how to do it“, there’s the Outlook Calendar Update Tool – TzMove.exe (“Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office Outlook” in Microsoft-speak). This is […]

DST 2007: The order of things, again!

As we wind down towards the DST 2007 deadline, I’ve still been getting quite a few questions about this in the past day or two. This has been covered and repeated quite a bit over the past few days, but here it is once again. Here’s what Microsoft recommends on its DST 2007 web site:1. […]

Switching your Linux systems to the new DST

Over on Linux-Watch, Steven Vaughan-Nichols shows you how to update Linux systems for DST 2007. As a sidenote to the above, Windows systems also use NTP (Network Time Protocol) to synchronize clocks to reliable time sources. This is required in Active Directory environments, for Kerberos v5 authentication. In an AD domain, all client computers and […]
