DST problem in 2008

[bustamove]

hi,

we have the bes for exchange, and we had updates etc before DST 2007 everything works fine.

however, since this year (2008), even though all the blackberry device displays correct time, but any appointment made on devices is pushed forward one hour if see if on outlook, but those made on Outlook work fine on blackberry, is there anything wrong??

Just a shot in the dark here, but are you running the pre release version of BES 4.1 SP5? If so, that's your problem--it's why the release was delayed.
