There's a patch for the Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office
Outlook (KB 933146) that lets users run this using the /ONLYCREATEDPREPATCH
option. When this is run on a client workstation, the tool detects when KB
931836 (time zone update) was applied to the operating system, and only
updates items in the affected period that were created before that.

You can also use the /ONLYCREATEDPREPATCH option and specify a UTC time:http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2007/03/dst-2007-clarification-on-using...

2. Yes, as long as you rebase only appointments created before user
workstations got their KB 931836 time zone update as described above. Else,
even appointments created with new DST 2007 time zone rules will get wrongly
rebased, as explained here:

If I run this update tool on mailbox, are all appointments within the DST
change period affected? We have a situation were some workstations had
KB928388 installed in Dec - as I understand it, this was a KB931836
predecessor. So, workstations with this update that booked appointments
after
that should be OK, but not appointments booked prior to that date -
Correct?

The rest of the servers and a few laptops got the update in late Feb.
Every machine now has KB931836 and there is a mix of appointments during
the
DST change period that are OK and some that are off by one hour ahead.
IF I run the Time Zone Update Tool, will all the appointments in the DST
change period be pushed back an hour?

I have not been able to find that specific statement or a statement that
describes which appointments will be changed by the tool.

Hello Bharat,
just to be clear-this option is designed to circumvent moving any
appointments that were created after the KB931836 updated was applied?
What is the impact on recurring appointments, since it is stated it
will only rebase single instance appointments in KB 933146-or are
those automatically adjusted somehow?
Thanks.
