Unsure of Where to Start with DST Patching
So, client machines running Outlook 2003 or 2007 are struggling with times being1 hour off. I've read soooo much that my brain is fried. I have one Exchange 2003 server, < 50 client machines, mostly running Windows XP SP 3, 1 or 2 running Vista. The problems with calendar appear on clients running either 2003 or 2007 Outlook versions. I'm on a "fully patched" Exchange 2003 Standard server, single server environment. I just need to be pointed in the right direction.If you make it idiot proof, they'll build a better idiot.

Hi,
First, as Bill mentioned above, you should install the DST updates on server side and client side. Then we have two solutions:
1. Users can run a tool on their client called the Time Zone Data Update Tool For Microsoft Outlook to fix the issue individually.

2. As an Exchange administrator, we can run Exchange Calendar Update Tool for all mailboxes.

Here are the video demos for the two procedures.
