We have purchased the DST 2007 bundle update for Windows2000/Exchange 2000 and have a few questions. Does the Exchange 2000 executable update contain the CDO file only? If that is the case then we have to wait for the Exchange Time Zone Update Tool. Is this assumption correct?

I can't comment on what is in the update that you have purchased, but the 2003 CDO is similar to a rollup. It will not fix any currently incorrect calendar items so you would still need to update the calendar items. The tool you reference is now available at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=930879

Now that we have all the peices of the puzzle, Windows 2000 patch, exchange 2000 patch, Outlook update tool, and exchange update tool, we started testing the exchange tool this week and it is difficult to say the least. With 5000 users spread over 4 exchange servers, we are frantic trying to put together a strategy that will create the least bit of chaos!

Will there be an Exchange Timezone Update tool V3 released next week?

I only asked that question because the rumor started on the msexchangeteam blog that there would be a V3 of the exchange wrapper but in reality it ws the outlook tool hotfix. We ran som etests this morning in our lab and were impressed with the speed of all the latest tools.

Heh. Oh you were serious... :) Sorry about that. Yes the Outlook tool patch has been called V2, but we don't like to call it V2 because it really is a patch. You still need to install the original tool and then patch it. You also need to think about it as a patch: "Do I need to install this patch?". If not, then the original one is good.
