Clarification on the above, the option to check Recurring Meetings is
disabled by default in MsExTmz.exe.
From KB 930879:Time Zone Extraction
In this mode, Msextmz.exe extracts time zone information from each mailbox
by reading a set of MAPI properties.
Msextmz.exe can examine recurring appointments that are organized by the
user in the user?s calendar and then try to determine a time zone for the
user. However, this option is resource-intensive. By default, therefore,
this option is not enabled. To enable this option, set the
ReadCalendarTimezones parameter in the Msextmz.ini file.
Msextmz.exe records the time zone information for each user in an output
file that contains a list of mailbox legacy DNs. Each mailbox legacy DN has
the following types of time zone values: ? Outlook Web Access Time Zone
? CDO Time Zone
? Outlook Time Zone
? Recurring Meeting Time Zone
The format of the file uses the following format:
User_DN<\TAB >CDO_Time_Zone<\TAB>Outlook Web
Access_Time_Zone<\TAB>Outlook_Time_Zone<\TAB
Recurring_Meeting_Time_Zone<\CRLF>If Msextmz.exe cannot extract time zone information for any of the four
types of time zones, the mailbox legacy DN will be logged in the error file.
To map the user to only one time zone, you must import the output file to
Microsoft Excel. In Excel, filter the list of users according to one of the
time zones. The time zone that you use depends on your environment.
For example, if most users use BlackBerry devices, Exchange 5.5 Outlook Web
Access, or other CDO-based solutions, filter the list by CDO Time Zone. If
most users use Exchange Outlook Web Access, filter the list by Outlook Web
Access Time Zone. If most users do not fit into one of these scenarios,
filter the list by Recurring Meeting Time Zone.
To run the tool in Time Zone Extraction mode, configure the .ini file as
follows: ? Leave the CommandLine parameter uncommented.
? Set the OutputFile parameter.
? Set the ErrorFile parameter.
? Set the ServerDN parameter.
? Set the Profile parameter.
? Set the LogFile parameter.
? Set the ExportTimezones parameter to 1.
? Comment out the rest of the parameters in the .ini file.

Is everybody's time zone Central?
The tool picks up the mailbox time zones from the following: 1) Recurring
meetings. If not determined, it looks at MAPI properties on the mailbox
for: 2) Outlook time zone 3) OWA time zone 4) CDO time zone. If these
conflict, the user will be logged in the conflict log.

Is everyone having fun in their personal DST hell?
Question...
I am getting ready to run the exchange calendar update tool on one of our
offices in Michigan however when I do that and look at the mailbox list
before actually running the tool it shows everyone's mailbox timezone as
Central (which is where I am) I am running the tool from a VMWare image
with the internal TZ set to Eastern.
I have not applied any of the patches to the server yet other than the OS
patch. Is that my problem?
Ryan
