We Spring Forward This Weekend???

As ABC news said the other day. "At the time, it seemed like a good idea." This is costing billions to change the time ahead. Need to check our computers, the may not recognize the change, probably not. I hate setting the clocks ahead.
 
Yep..starts early and ends later....I believe it ends sometime in early Nov now instead of Oct. I don't think they thought this one through too much...i know the utilities are all scrambling to get their electric meters and software updated. And just think...in December of 07 they have the option of switching it back to the old schedule.
 
We're putting in a lot of extra hours here to make sure everything transitions ok. Unfortunately, you guys pay for our over-time. Gov't contractor ftw!
 
Yea it was a fun rollout to patch all servers and workstations to make sure they were aware of this change... 🙁

Are you being sarcastic? It was such a pain to get the GPO to work properly with 2000 and XP machines and a mixture of Outlook 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007 🙁

Agreed, and luckily all I'm responsible for, so I look golden.

I was being serious. I used Intelliadmin for the updates to the OS. Why not create a few different GPOs with WMI filters? I have my workstation OUs broken down by OS, when make a GPO and have it filter by Outlook version through WMI.

EDIT: Try still being on Exchange 5.5 and having BES. :roll:

I'm stuck with any appointments made on a Blackberry showing one hour ahead in Outlook. 🙁

How did you do you rollout? F'n WSUS server wasn't playing nice so I had to use GPOs so that I wouldn't have to manually update 200+ Servers and 1000+ workstations

That sucks... We're pretty good with keeping Exchange up to date. Esp once 5.5 was offically no longer supported. Prob. will migrate from 2003 to 2007 in the next few months...

The servers I'm responsible for are stand alone point of sale installations. We monitor and update through a program called Remoteware which can execute programs\scripts under the Services account. I simply wrote a script to execute the hotfix, and check errorlevels. None of 2500 failed.
