Video demos for running Exchange and Outlook DST 2007 tools
Published Feb 21 2007 02:09 PM 4,752 Views

EDIT: This post has been edited on 9/14/2007 to point to new versions of videos.

We have put together three demos that you can use to familiarize yourself with the process of running the DST tools. We think that the following three scenarios cover what people need to run most often.

DST: How to Address Daylight Saving Time by Using the Exchange  Calendar Data Update Tool

DST: Using the Outlook v2.0 Time Zone Data Update Tool

https://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=341649

 

DST: Cumulative Time Zone Update for Microsoft Windows

https://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=341535

EDIT 3/1/07: We have added additional video for resource mailboxes here.

Is anyone having trouble applying the hotfix for the Outlook tool from KB933146?  I have an XP system with Office 2003 on it.  I installed the tzmove utility downloaded from KB931667 and installed it. But when I attempt to apply the hotfix, it says "the installation of this package failed".  I was able to apply the hotfix on the virtual machine I had also obtained from Microsoft, and it has the same version of tzmove as this system.  Can the different Outlook versions be causing this?  My system has 2003 and the VM from Microsoft has 2007.

abdul,

If you ONLY patch recurring meetings, then you will be fine.  Since recurring meetings have time zone information stamped on them, only those that were created prior to the OS patch would require to be updated.  Any recurring meetings that were created after the OS patch was applied would have the correct time zone information and would not be updated.

Thnx..Ben.. I thought I did remember reading that recurring meetings do have a time zone embedded in them...just not single instances... appreciate the time and effort.

I'm in an awkward situation right now. I'm with a startup company with not too many resources. We just setup exchange and I'm administering it, with this being my first time EVER having any experience with Exchange (2003).  I'm moving along pretty nicely from reading books, blogs, etc.

This though... I'm confused.

Should I run the Exchange patch first and then ask the end users to run the update? Or do I only do the Exchange patch and it handles the rest?

What should be my plan of action... simply?

Q: What is the best method to rebase multiple users from a single location without having to log in as

Having some confusion about the calendar update tool. We applied all the patches in this order:

1. Updates on Server
2. Updates on Workstations
3. Exchange Server DST
4. Ran the exchange calendar tool against all users

The problem that we're having is some calendar entry was moved back -1 hour? is this the normal behavior or did we miss something?
Not applicable
I didnt know that when you run the extraction time zone ..it would take hours...depending on the number of mailboxes...on one server it took 5 hours... we only did recurring time zones also...thats why according MS
question for everyone is...what if not all mailboxes show up in the mailboxes.txt file?  the tool seemed to have missed a lot of mailboxes that need to get updated? does that mean i have to manually update each mailbox that the tool didnt pick up?  or can i add those missing mailboxes in the text file?
Not applicable
abbdul,

You can add those missing mailboxes into the text file if the time zone extraction failed, yes. Just try making sure that you specify a correct timezone for them in the text file to prevent other possible issues. Other than that - no problems with that.

I am having the same issue as Jeff.

"I'm having trouble running the tool because it keeps asking me to authenticate Outlook when running the VM. I've set the permissions for the account I'm logged in as to have full access to the mailboxes, but when running on a test mailbox (my own), it doesn't work."

Any fix for this issue?

Thanks.

Tobias.

i am running the rebasing now...so far its going ok...question is what if there is no log file written for user? how can you tell if it worked or not?

We are experiencing an issue where the tzmove app crashes on three of our resource mailboxes (they use direct booking), we have not proceeded to the user mailboxes as yet.  We get an event id 1000 in the app log.  Originally we ran this with the exchange wrapper, but have had the same result running manually against only the one mailbox.  When running against the individual mailbox, we can see the item count, and it always fails on the same item number.  We have copied the calendar to a PST file and run against it, with the same result (same total item count, and failing after the same item number).  Note that when we opened the mailbox, there was a great number of old reminders (people booking as an attendee, grrrr...), these were all dismissed, still same result.  We then purged old items (taking one of the mailboxes from 1500+ to about 500 items), and ran the tool standalone.  It still crashed; however, the item number did change.  We ran SCANPST against the PST, no corrupted items found.  On recommendation, we also migrated the resource mailbox to another store database (in the same storage group), no corrupted items found, still crashing.  HELP!!!!

Garbage. Utter and complete garbage.  Microsoft really dropped the ball on this "patch".   All-Day appointments are broken (shifted to two day appointments), I'm also seeing *some* appointments being shifted back and hour.  I'm assuming this is due to some latency between the actual patching and running the calendar update tool, but this is ridiculous.  This wasn't a fix, it was a dirty hack passed off as one!  When someone needs to go so far as to make a video tutorial of a fix being run so it makes sense, well, you know there's something wrong with it.
Not applicable
abdul,

It is expected that there are no logs created for users that were NOT ORGANIZERS of any meetings. The tools modify the appointments only for organizers, not all appointments across the boards.

alrite...i did the rebase tool.  and it went ok...it found about half of the users...with the correct time zone. and then errors list didnt have the time zone..however if you know what they are..you can just add it in..
i was actually shocked as to how easy it was ... it worked well..

now did anyone run kb926666..that was a pain.. killed my BES...only half the users were getting mail on their handheld.. and it was not the 'send as' permissions being revoked.. took me the whole day to fix it.. we needed to create a new service account.
and now it has killed some of shared resources..like to send from another mailbox...or open another users calendar... i thought i read this somewhere...but i dont remember..
i say if you can hold off on doing this update.. i would.. kb926666.. stay away...  :)  ....sorry Exchange team..

I have an issue, I ran the update on a PC that had not gotten the DST update, so all the appointments in the March 10 to April 1st range were moved one hour ahead. What's the easiest route to fix those appointments? I am in Eastern Standard and my file is set to Eastern Time. I was thinking of updating the mailboxes_1 file with Central so it would force the changes to those dates or is there a better way??
