Daylight Saving Time info updated

[Diane Ross]

Updates and new links posted.

For updated info on the time change see this article "Is your Mac ready for
Daylight Savings Time?"

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/articles/daylight.html>

You'll find direction and links that will help you with both Mac and PCs.

Clarification for Entourage 2004 and Tiger 10.4.x:

1. Entourage clients updated with 11.3.3 Update will work fine BUT issues
will come up when they interact with clients not updated with DST 2007
changes.
2. Entourage 2004 11.3.3 supports DST changes by leveraging the OS. If you
use this version (11.3.3 or newer) and a version of the OS that supports the
DST changes (currently 10.4.6+), you are fine.
3. If you use Entourage 11.3.3 with an older version of the OS (10.4.5-)
that doesn¹t support the DST rules, then the DST change will result in an
inaccurate calendar.

In simple terms: You MUST update both Entourage and the OS!

Entourage X users have the option to use a workaround. See "Unofficial
Daylight Saving Time Workaround for Entourage X"

Diane,

I know you think that this is all we have to do, but let me explain my
environment:
Exchange 2003 Ent SP2 on Windows 2003 Server Standard (DL'ing SP2 now)

Entourage Clients on iMac G5 with 10.4.8 and ALL updates to both
Office and OS

When a user creates an appt in Entourage, the appt window shows the
correct information. Any calendar view puts the appt one hour ahead.
Viewed from a Windows machine or via OWA, the appt shows incorrectly
one hour ahead. This affects more than just the three new DST weeks.

Any suggestions? FYI, this has been happening on some, not all appts
for the last month or so. DST definitely saw an increase in
occurrences.

Thanks

Ben

I'm trying to get someone to answer the DST questions. Sorry, but I don't
have the answers. I learn from using Entourage and I don't use exchange.

FWIW, many of the MVPs are away this week at a Summit in Redmond, WA.

Did you check the Rochester Institute of Technology articles?
