This change affects Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office Outlook and other Microsoft, third party and custom applications:

  •        All Microsoft Windows PC, server and mobile devices in the affected time zones will need to be updated.
  •        Microsoft Office Outlook calendars may need to be adjusted. Client and Server-based tools to automate this process are available (see 'Adjusting Office Outlook Calendars' below).
  •        Microsoft, third party and custom applications which schedule events at future dates should be reviewed to ensure they will operate correctly during the extended daylight saving period. Previously scheduled events may also need to be adjusted.
  •        Microsoft recommends that all PC and server systems are updated regardless of location to ensure consistency of operation.

       

A complete list of affected Microsoft products appears below. This page is updated regularly as information about products and updates becomes available.
