SYMPTOMS
If you use the Autoaccept script, which uses Collaboration Data Objects (CDO), to automatically book a conference room, a repeating appointment that falls across daylight saving time change periods is displayed with an appointment start time that is one hour later than the actual start time of the appointment for the first three weeks of March.
CAUSE
This issue can occur because CDO does not use the operating system TimeZone table to calculate daylight saving time adjustments. Instead, CDO uses its own internal table. This table incorrectly defines the end date for daylight saving time; as a result, appointments that you create during the overlap period are off by one hour.
RESOLUTION
