We have been using group schedules for tracking
availabiltiy of users for meetings, vacations, etc. We
noticed at the point of daylight savings time - several
of our users began reporting strange occurances on their
calendars. Some have had their appointments moved 1 hour,
while others have had appointments with the "all day
appointment" box checked span multiple dates. In some
instances the calendar appears correct on the users
desktop but when someone views it using group schedules,
it appears either one hour off or spanning multiple days.
I thought this might be an issue of mixed versions. Some
were XP and some were 2003. So I upgraded the Office XP
users to 2003 - nothing changed. Is there a way to fix
this issue? I have seen multiple variations of this
theme in this newsgroup. Apparently this is not an
isolated phenomonon. Is Microsoft intending to fix
this? This calendar offers nothing to us if we can't
believe the dates and/or times listed on the other users
calendar.
I've seen all the notes regarding KB 197850 & 197480 -
but the issue remains: these calendars are already messed
up. How do we fix this issue? We are talking about
executive level calendars with many appointments going
into the next year. It's a monumental task to correct
each appointment individually, not to mention - how do we
know which ones were changed by the daylight savings time
issue (not all appointments were affected). This has
never been an issue at daylight savings time before -
until the new versions of Office and the newer Microsoft
OS versions.
