Uh guys.... apparently someone told the Exchange
tool makers about the need for bodyguards... apparently they are making
changes to the tools
*NEW!* Office 2003 CDO has been
released and should be available tomorrow at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932962
·
In addition,
there will be an update to the Data Update Tools for Outlook and
Exchange coming soon. The update is based on customer feedback
requesting additional functionality. If you are able to accomplish your
tasks with the current tools, no changes are necessary. Here are some
of the changes coming in the updated tool:
1.
Ensuring that
single instance items created after the date on which the operating
system time zone updates were applied are not rebased
2.
Rebasing
calendar items and suppressing calendar updates
3.
Rebasing
resource mailboxes
4.
Rebasing
calendars items stored in public folders
5.

Home Page
Microsoft’s DST Home Page at http://www.microsoft.com/dst2007 has been updated to make it easier to
filter out information you don’t need and help you focus on what you do
need. The new “wizard” interface lets you pick your role and applicable
products to give you targeted information and guidance. If there are
still some gaps in your internal plans, please take the time to review
the content there or call me.
