And to add even more encouraging words, from the reading and testing I’ve done, you have to be an admin to run the Outlook Time Zone Update Tool. Oh yeah, and you can’t use the “runas” command either since it will try and update the Outlook profile of the user whose credentials you type in. So, if you try to use the local admin account, it tells you that the specified user does not have a profile setup, and then the update tool fails. In checking my personal computer, Windows Update did include the patch for Windows, but it did not include the patch for Outlook. _____ From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Richard Wiggins Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 5:27 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Understanding early DST update for Outlook I'm trying to understand exactly what steps end users of Outlook must take to update. This document: HYPERLINK "http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx"http://w ww.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx Says this: You can prevent these problems by installing three Microsoft files on your device and/or PC: * Microsoft Windows Operating Systems Update * Daylight Saving Time 2007 Update Tool * Outlook Time Zone Update Tool So if you don't do ALL of these, you are going to have sync problems. Question: does Windows Update do the Windows and Outlook patches? A colleague in ACNS who has not run the Outlook Time Zone Update Tool says that after a recent Windows Update, the next time he ran Outlook it asked to adjust all of his appointments. And then we have these encouraging words: If some users have not updated their Outlook, it will affect other users The Outlook Time Zone Update Tool only updates meetings for which the user is the organizer, and then automatically sends updates for those meetings to attendees. Meetings that you are invited to but did not organize will not be updated until the organizer updates the meeting and prompts you to change to the correct time. Additionally, meetings created by a delegate on your behalf from an non-updated PC will need to be updated on your PC by running the Outlook Time Zone Update Tool again. /rich -- No virus found in this incoming message.
