SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You use the TZEdit tool to customize the
Jerusalem (GMT + 02:00) time zone settings in an organization that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. You configure the time zone settings to match the official transition dates for daylight saving time that were announced for 2006. You send a meeting request to a user in the organization. Then, the user uses a CDO program, such as the Auto Accept agent or Microsoft Outlook Web Access, to accept the meeting request. In this scenario, the time of the meeting is moved ahead by 1 hour. This problem occurs when the meeting is scheduled between the following dates:
- Between March 26 and March 31, 2006
- Between October 1 and October 29, 2006

Hotfix installation information
After you install the hotfix, the daylight saving time transition dates are correctly resolved for the Jerusalem time zone for the year 2006. Additionally, the start date of daylight saving time is also resolved for several years. However, because the end date of daylight saving time is not based on the Gregorian calendar, this problem is not resolved in the years following 2006. The following table lists the dates that CDO programs will correctly interpret as daylight saving time transition dates after you apply this hotfix.
