Step by step run of the Exchange Calendar Update Configuration Tool (MSExTMZCFG.EXE)
I ran v2 of the Exchange tool , and it took 1.5 hours to process 1000 mailboxes. Just over half of he mailboxes had no items to change (as reported by the event log). So far I've had one report of a wierd problem. His output file looked like:
[Original Time Zone]
(GMT-03:30) Newfoundland
[New Time Zone]
(GMT-03:30) Newfoundland (Update)
[Time Zone Update Log]

The actual original start time for this appointment (in his calendar) was 9:30 a.m. and after the tool ran was switched to 8:30 a.m and an update was automatically sent out to all attendees. The reason he found out about the problem was that people emailed him saying they couldn't made the 8:30 a.m meeting. This completly contradicts the info in the output file. He only had two changes made to his calendar (only one is shown here). Anyone experience a similar problem?
