Our company plans on ignoring the problem for the few weeks that it will cause the problem. Microsoft told me yesterday that it would cost $4,000 dollars for the hotfix(es) (down from $40,000)... We are upgrading Exchange but it won't happen until middle of this year.

We are in the same boat as RedTech where we are planning on upgrading but it won't be until about the middle of the year when our budjet will allow.
Right now we are trying to figure out the best way to handle this issue. Both of our Domain Controllers are set to sync their time with an atomic clock every morning so will this be sufficient on the day of the DST change?
I am just wondering how Exchange will handle this since our Exchange box does sync its time with our Domain Controller.
Honestly, if you'll read the blog and follow the links, you'll find out everything that you'll need to know and how to do it and where to do it from...it's all there. There's no need in reiterating here what's already taken care of elsewhere.

Well since the blog is geared toward an Exchange 2003 box and I have an Exchange 2000 box then it doesn't answer all of my questions.
I have found a utility to change the time zone information for the 2000 operating system itself (which I have already applied) and I have also found the Outlook time zone update tool that I will need to run on the clients but then it talks about the Exchange Server 2003 update tool but there isn't such a tool for Exchange 2000.
I used the tzedit.exe on this Exchange server but I didn't know if this would be sufficient or not. I know this should cause the time to change on the correct date but I don't know if this will take care of the issues with Exchange or not.
