NZDST - Outlook 2007 popup creating confusion

Hi All, 

We have had a few queries from customers that are using Outlook 2007 and they receive a pop up requesting to rebase their calendar events.This prompt is coming from Outlook 2007.  We have disabled this for Outlook 2007 SP1 because it causes more confusion than it’s worth but you can disable this prompt in the registry. 

Specifically (from https://support.microsoft.com/kb/931667):

Suppress the Change Calendar Time Zone Tool in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

By default, the Change Calendar Time Zone Tool in Outlook 2007 does run after you install Outlook 2007. However, you can prevent this program from running by using a Group Policy or by modifying the Windows registry on the particular computer.

You can use the following administrative template to create a Group Policy object to prevent the Change Calendar Time Zone Tool in Outlook 2007 from running.
