M$ states that the DST fix for the USA is built into WM6, as the last paragraph here (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/daylightdownload.mspx) states. So I thought it was odd that a client with an Exchange 2003 server with one user with a custom WM6 Hermes 8525 and another user with a brand new 8925 Tilt with latest Official AT&T WM6 ROM complained of odd calendar issues. Both had All Day appointments changing to multiday appointments starting and ending at 1:00 AM. Then I tested creating a Holy Thursday and Good Friday All Day Calendar event using my Hermes and my Exchange server, same thing. Holy Thursday on the PDA changed to Wednesday and Good Friday changed to Thursday (not good!) Of course all my servers are up to date, as are the workstations. Installed the WM6 DST and corrected the appointments on my workstation, changed the time zone from EST to another timezone and back to EST per Billy Bob Gate's instructions and now all is fine.
Curious on other folks findings concerning this...
( I posted this originally on the Hermes WM6 Forum and though it'd be better here, sorry for the cross post :) )\
Determined my problems due to automatically getting time zone from Cingular (which I kind of suspected) If I turn that off and manually change it to something different than my EST, save, then change back to EST all is well.
If I don't, all my All Day events are one day earlier, freaking Cingular! I remember last year with my Wizard that it would show Indiana instead of Eastern and assummed that it was fixed as it has indicated Eastern for quite a while now..
Oh well, false alarm, kinda sorta :p .
