: slightly OT...DST scheduling differences between desktop andhandheld

[David Porritt]

Microsoft has been working on that problem and there are some files you can
download for your PC to tell it about the expanded DST.  I know at SMU
(where everyone is supposed to use Outlook for calendars) our IT people have
been scrambling to update the servers that keep all these calendars.
Outlook stores all your appointments at GMT and then adjusts them to your
local time.  Since the local time is no longer what they originally planned
the appointments now scheduled between March 11 and April 1 are “adjusted”
to your local time incorrectly (standard rather than daylight time).

Hi Marcel,

 

Thanks for the tip.  I have that option checked already, but the Outlook and
Active Sync are still an hour off for three weeks between DST and PST.  I
really think it's a bug related to the late notice of our new PST.

 

I'll go to Active Sync help and see if there's a solution.  Thanks again.

Dave,

 

I remember seeing an option in activesynch menu where you can have clocks
synchronised everytime the pda is connected with the PC. Check this out.

Pocket PC/outlook users,

 

I was recently scheduling appointments between the March 12th and last week
in March, when I found an interesting and annoying anomaly.  All of the
appointments I schedule for that period of time time on my pocket PC show up
as an hour later on my desktop computer, and vice versa.  I am assuming
because Outlook got upated to refect the new Daylight Savings schedule,
while ActiveSync didn't get the same update.

 

I was just wondering if any of you have experienced this annoyance.  I will
probably try to upgrade ActiveSync at some point soon, and when I do, I'll
report results.
