Exchange and the New DST Rules for the USA and Canada

The calls have started.

Yes -- we see what a pain it is to update meetings and appointments in Microsoft Exchange 2003 for the new DST rules.

The best summary Microsoft has given of what protocol to follow is in KB Article 931667 -- parts of which read as though they were written by slackers under the influence of ganja. How can they keep a straight face when they write that tens of thousands of Exchange users should print their calendars while administrators do what Microsoft tells them to do to update the system which will not SOLVE the problem, only make it more confusing and less certain?

Come back here in a few days and we'll tell you what we're up to about it.
