RE: DST update for Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003

Logan,

I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through this. I have a
couple of questions:

Logan's Response:
"On the terminal server, run the TZMOVE.EXE that you downloaded. That will
install a file named TZMOVE.EXE along with a TZMOVE.DLL under your Outlook
folder under your Program Files folder."

teenzbutler Question:
I located the TZMOVE.exe and TZMOVER.dll under \Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\Office Outlook Time Zone Data Update Tool. Yes, TZMOVER.dll.
Is this correct?

Logan's Response:
Run your MsExTmcCfg.exe tool, and be sure to give it the path to the
TZMOVE.EXE file that is installed within your Program Files folder, NOT the
TZMOVE.EXE that you downloaded. When this tool completes, it will create a
subfolder with the name of your Exchange Server, and it will create a batch
file there.

teenzbutler Question:
Do I change the path within the MsExTmz.ini file under
CommandLine=tzmove.exe /q?

Logan's Response:
"If you want to try it out on only a few mailboxes at first, look for a file
name something like MAILBOXES_1.TXT (again, this is from memory), make a
backup copy of it, then edit it to include only the mailboxes you want to
process."

teenzbutler Question:
I assume the MAILBOXES_1.TXT will be found in the subfolder of the \Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Office Outlook Time Zone Data Update Tool
directory. Is that correct?

Logan's Response:
"One thing to be prepared for. When the tool runs against a mailbox, it
updates all events created by that user and sends update invitation messages
to everyone that user invited to a previously scheduled meeting."

teenzbutler Question:
Will this just happen to appointements within the 3/11/07 thru 3/31/07 and
10/29/07 thru 11/4/07 timeframe -OR- ALL appointements?

I believe this thread will be a tremendous help to others. Thanks again.

What, you can't understand Microsoft's simple directions with this tool? :)
You're right; the instructions are atrocious.

Anyway, you are on the right track. I also ran the calendar update tool
from a Citrix server. You have already installed Outlook 2003 and .NET 2.0,
so you are on the right track. You mentioned working from your terminal
server, so I will continue to use that as a reference below.

On the terminal server you mentioned, log in as a user with full mailbox
access to all mailboxes (an Enterprise Admin should have this by default).
Create an Outlook profile to that user's mailbox, and make it the profile
that Outlook uses without prompting. (If your Outlook prompts you to select
a profile when you open Outlook, the calendar update tool will not work.)
Download the OUTLOOK calendar update tool (TZMOVE.EXE) to the terminal
server. (The EXCHANGE calendar update tool actually uses the Outlook tool.)
On the terminal server, run the TZMOVE.EXE that you downloaded. That will
install a file named TZMOVE.EXE along with a TZMOVE.DLL under your Outlook
folder under your Program Files folder. Do a search of your Program Files
folder to find it. (I apologize, but I'm sitting at home writing this and
don't remember the exact path.) Run your MsExTmcCfg.exe tool, and be sure to
give it the path to the TZMOVE.EXE file that is installed within your Program
Files folder, NOT the TZMOVE.EXE that you downloaded. When this tool
completes, it will create a subfolder with the name of your Exchange Server,
and it will create a batch file there. Run that batch file to update your
Exchange Server.

You won't actually see this, but the batch file basically uses Outlook to
open each mailbox, one at a time, and runs TZMOVE.EXE against each mailbox.
When I ran it, it updated over 400 mailboxes in about 30 minutes.

If you want to try it out on only a few mailboxes at first, look for a file
names something like MAILBOXES_1.TXT (again, this is from memory), make a
backup copy of it, then edit it to include only the mailboxes you want to
process. You can then restore the mailboxes file and run the batch file
again.

One thing to be prepared for. When the tool runs against a mailbox, it
updates all events created by that user and sends update invitation messages
to everyone that user invited to a previously scheduled meeting. You will
have to let your users know to expect these messages and, more importantly,
to ACCEPT them. The update tool does not directly update the meetings to
which a user was invited; they have to accept the invitations from the
meeting hosts in order to get those updated.

Hope this helps. The above procedure worked for me (after a lot of false
starts from doing thimgs wrong).

I must be doing something wrong. I installed the Exchange tool on one of my
terminal servers running Windows Server 2003, .NET 2.0, Outlook 2003, and the
Outlook Calendar Tool. The windows updates have been applied. I changed the
PickLogonProfile registry key to 0 and I uninstalled KB926666 from my
Exchangeserver. I double-clicked the MsExTmzCfg.exe tool. A window opens
and I fill in the required fields, i.e., servername. Then it asks to select
the mailbox. The only mailbox in the list is Administrator. When I select
administrator, there is no OK button to continue. I can't go any further
than this. I apologize, but this is extremely confusing for me. Can anyone
offer any assistance. I feel as though I have read, and re-read every
article on this tool...
