Re: Apply KB926666 on FE E2k3 box?

You know I did read this awhile back....brain freeze with all the DST 2007
articles and forum posts....thanks for the refresh.
However, it still conflicts in step process when compared to RIM's
suggestion. If I were merely running an Exchange 2k3 enviornment then it'd
be a piece of cake to follow the order, MS hands down. BUT, I'm not b/c I am
also running BES 4.1....soooo which do I follow or is there a combined
procedure somewhere?

Ex.
1. patch all client OS's
2. patch all server OS's
3. patch Exchange
4. update calendars
5. patch BB handhelds
6. patch BES

Exact order:
1. Apply updates to Windows servers
2. Apply updates to Windows clients
3. Apply Exchange DST update
4. Run Time Zone Update tool (against all Exchange servers, or have users
run the Outlook TZ Update Tool, or a mix of both where the server tool only
modifies recurring calendar items and clients update their own
single-instance items)

Thanks for the reply Bharat...
Mind if go in a different direction...hopefully you'll have some knowledge
on this, but I've been reading a few conflicting posts on the order in
which
to apply the updates for E2k3 and BES.
RIM says to apply the updates in this fashion:
1. patch OS for MS servers and BES servers (kb929388 & kb931836)
2. patch OS of clients (kb929388 & kb931836)
3. patch BB device OS
4. Run RIM's Send As tool
5. patch BES and E2k3 servers with CDO updates (kb926666)
6. run Exchange Update Tool to update existing calendar mtgs. out of time

Its nice that RIM has this step-by-step process, but does MS say an
appropriate order is, if any at all?

TIA.

Is there a need to apply KB926666 on FE E2k3 SP2 servers since all they
do
is
handle the HTTP requests and direct as needed.

TIA.
