A couple of little bugs, but mostly everything was contained by me. Two backups were missed for whatever reason, but both were scheduled at 3am yesterday, so I am not sure why that happened.

Well, the phones didn't unforward automatically but I got that straightened out pretty quickly. Other than that, I haven't noticed anything. I'm sure there are some pretty messed up Outlook calendars out there.

I have noticed that AT hasn't switched to DST yet.

My personal guess is because the time switches at 2:00am and by the time it had finished switching it was 3:00.01 so they missed the kickoff. I could be wrong though.

ADP having some issues communicating with our LA site and updating the time clocks, other than that we've only had 3 out of 400+ computers that the time was acting odd on

It was pretty seamless here. A couple of exec flipped out on Friday ("OMG, how do I update my compooter?!?!)...other than that just a normal day. Too bad I'm working on my day off :(

I did my job right, and nothing broke. Crystal Enterprise crashed on us this morning, but it was no fault of DST, but everybody thought it was :)

The phones are all displaying the wrong time because no one knows how to change the clocks manually and I don't want to volunteer, and my boss has likely forgotten about it and will arrive an hour late today.

I'm still trying to sort everything out. From what I can tell though, I applied the Outlook patch (via Exchange) correctly. However, since most people did not add appointments to Outlook until the past week, and by then Windows was already patched, the Outlook patch appears to have moved these correct items one hour behind.

Microsoft's lack of Windows 2000 support sucks, anyway. So does that "unofficial" patch which didn't work on most of my servers.

We are having a few(5 out of 100+) PCs (XP) that have the patch installed, but didn't switch over. Manual adjustments are getting reset to an hour back every so often so they have the wrong time again. Still trying to figure out whats causing that.

Phone system didn't switch automatically (although was patched by vendor).

Exchange seems to have randomly picked who's calenders would be correct... Although that might have something to do with our 5.5 server still in the organization.

Other than those annoyances... nothing blew up. :)

If anyone has suggestions on the stubborn time changing XP boxes let me know!

nope, not really for me. Some others were working the weekend and really early this morning though. Hey, it did give us an excuse to get breakfast and lunch for everyone.

It worked on 10 Win2k servers and 15 Win2k3 servers for me.
