Exchange 5.5 and Daylight Savings Time 2007 3

[ITfromZX81]

Hi all,

Is there any kind of workaround for Exchange 5.5 and Daylight Savings Time 2007 that is going to come along in the near future?

I know there is a hotfix available for people with extended support, but what if you don't have this? Can you pay a one time fee to Microsoft for the hotfix or will they not do this? Is there any way around this issue(other than upgrading to Exchange 2003)? What are the ramifications of not fixing this issue?

Thanks,

You are right ... dst only messes up the OWA calendar times, not OWA's ability to send/receive email, etc.

Guess's:

1. Did you patch the OS on the OWA server? I patched the OS on exchange 5.5 servers and OWA server.

Is your OWA on a separate server? mine is ... make sure all dns is good ... go to command prompt and try pinging the mail server by name, and vice-versa, etc.

Here are some support sites:

Hope that helps,

OWA is on another server. I have not patched anything other than some of the clients and none of the servers as I assumed the volunteer work too late to effect much other than changing passwords, otherwise securing the network, and learning what an undocumented chore I'm up against. So I have some work to do and your suggestions and links are appreciated. Thanks very much.

This should help you with your Win2K operating systems:

Does not require a restart, I have used on all Win2K sp4 servers (exchange,owa, domain controllers, etc).
