3ft. heard it broadcast. I believe it. golf lobby says one month earlier one hour dst change is worth $100 million dollars. I bet the lobbying expenses were a small fraction of that.

Nope. Didn't work, completely. Grrr.
BlackBerries use a different lookup table to know when dst is. Different from the lookup tables that the underlying OS uses. a real pita. I tried the wireless dst patch push and got hosed. Frankly, it's easier to just ask the user individually to move the damn clock up on the BB. If I ask them nice, they think they're doing me a favor. They are. The fifteen minute reset time was listed in the docs. Normal. Sorry.
For the rest of the story, all my W2K machines didn't make the change, including the voicemail server, the phone switch, and a few workstations. Fortunately, there's a neat tool that lets you change the dst rules. It's called
TZEdit. I urge those who get paid to care to read the whole article, and for everyone else to just search for tzedit. It's a real slog. But the tool works well.
Unfortunately, W2K and Outlook ALSO use different lookup tables for the dst rules.
And I haven't found the time/strength to get to the "fixoutlook" tool. I'm sure it exists, I just haven't called out the dogs.
Don't even ask about the nt4 based cardkey system. :sad: "How come my keycard doesn't work?"

oops. Forgot to add that some, not all, of the backup exec systems decided to abandon some jobs, reschedule some jobs.
