Cirix & DST problem

[Hank Arnold (MVP)]

We run a PS4 2-server farm. We also run an Exchange 5.5 mail server. All
are running on W2K Server.

We have a number of public calendars. If you view them using a direct
connection via Outlook 2003,they look fine. If you view them on one
Citrix server (CITRIX-H1), they look fine. However, if you look at them
on CITRIX-H2, you see the behavior expected when there is a DST problem.
This is where appointments that fall in the expanded date range (3/9 -
4/6) and exhibit strange behavior with "all day" appointments.

Any ideas what could be going on? Or a work around?

If it is safe to assume the Citrix servers are Windows 2000 based on the
opening statement, I would ask are you sure that the operating system has
had its time zone tables (registry keys) updated to reflect the extended
period? (e.g. Roll CITRIX-H2 system clock forward to this coming Sunday to
verify that it knows how to spring forward 1 hour at the designated hour.)

neo,

I found an old KB article on manually updating the registry. I exported
the DST registry info from CITRIX-H1 and imported it into CITRIX-H2.
Rebooted and then ran a VB script to read it into the second required
location. Calendars are now correct on both servers.

I haven't a clue as to why one is correct and the other is not. I built
them both at the same time.

Anyway, it's OK now. Thanks for the reply....
