The English version of this update has the file attributes (or later file attributes) that are listed in the following table. The dates and times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). When you view the file information, it is converted to local time. To find the difference between UTC and local time, use the Time Zone tab in the Date and Time item in Control Panel.

Why the update is required for Exchange Server
Microsoft calendar software, such as Outlook, depends on the operating system's time zone information to display time information. However, Collaboration Data Objects (CDO)-based programs, such as Outlook Web Access, depend on separate internal time zone tables. This update modifies these internal time zone tables to match the changes in time zone settings.

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

For example, without this update, CDO-based programs will operate in standard time during the following periods in 2007:
 * March 11, 2007 through April 1, 2007
 * October 28, 2007 through November 4, 2007

What to consider if you are running Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
This update cannot be applied if you are using Exchange Server 2003 SP1.
