Hopefully, this will answer some of the questions involving problems with
the DST patches.

In our experience (and we did quite a bit of testing at my site), whenever
you used a unpatched Windows/Outlook system or a pre-11.3.3 version
Entourage to create an event (at least for Exchange calendaring), you will
need to fix those events' data _after_ patching.

The DST patches for Exchange clients, in our testing, did not fix data saved
prior to patching. However, reading how clients save to Exchange calendars,
this did not surprise us.

The patches did, however, fix _new_ events saved to Exchange calendars after
patching the client.

This comes from another power user:

a good old fashioned reboot has cleared up similar issues. Some other
questions:
1. They¹re on 11.3.3, right?

2. What version of OS X?

3. What¹s the OS X time zone?

4. What¹s the time zone and dst rule in the problematic event(s) (drag to
desktop and look at the DST and timezone info in the iCal part)

5. What¹s the default time zone in Entourage.

6. Are these events in an Exchange mailbox that is accessed by Outlook
also?

If you are experiencing problems, please report back with answers to these
questions.
