Update for Daylight Saving Time Available

[This topic is intended to address a specific issue called out by the Exchange Server Analyzer Tool. You should apply it only to systems that have had the Exchange Server Analyzer Tool run against them and are experiencing that specific issue. The Exchange Server Analyzer Tool, available as a free download, remotely collects configuration data from each server in the topology and automatically analyzes the data. The resulting report details important configuration issues, potential problems, and nondefault product settings. By following these recommendations, you can achieve better performance, scalability, reliability, and uptime.

The Microsoft Exchange Analyzer Tool queries the Active Directory directory service to determine the value of the versionNumber attribute for each Exchange Server object. The versionNumber attribute represents the version of Exchange Server that is running on the computer.

The Exchange Analyzer also queries the CIM_Datafile Microsoft Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) class to determine the value of the Version key for the Store.exe process.

  • A value of 7638 for the Version key indicates Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2

  • A value of 7226 for the Version key indicates Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1

  • A value of 6944 for the Version key indicates the original release of Exchange Server 2003

  • A value in between the versions above indicates that the server is running a hotfix update version of the Store.exe process.

If the Exchange Analyzer determines that the Version key for Store.exe on a server running Exchange Server 2003 SP2 has a value less than 7651, or a server running Exchange Server 2003 SP1 has a value less than 7234, a warning is displayed.

This warning indicates that the Exchange Server computer is running Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or Exchange Server 2003 SP2 without the update for daylight saving time changes in 2007.

Without this update, calendar items in CDO-based programs and in Outlook Web Access will operate as if standard time is in effect during the extra weeks of daylight saving time.
