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.

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:
Says this:
You can prevent these problems by installing three Microsoft files on
your device and/or PC:
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.
