DOCUMENT:Q249243 11-NOV-2000 [exchange] TITLE :XWEB: Appointments Created in OWA Appear Shifted One Hour Ahead PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER::5.5,5.5 SP3 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:exc55sp2 kbExchange550preSP4fix kbExchange550sp4Fix ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 SP3 - Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you use Outlook Web Access (OWA) to create appointments that fall in the seven days before the last Sunday in October of any given year, the start and end times may appear to be shifted one hour ahead if you view them by using Microsoft Outlook. For some time zones this may also happen for dates in the seven days before the last Sunday in September. In some cases the appointments are also displayed incorrectly in OWA even though they were created there. CAUSE ===== In 1996, the European Union (EU) standardized a EU-wide daylight saving period that starts on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October. Before the standardization, some EU countries implemented a daylight saving time that ended on the last Sunday in September. The Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) libraries didn't implement this change properly. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5.
