Outlook Time Zone Data Update Tool

 

The purpose of this tool is to Run TZmove.exe, located in P:\Software_Installs\DST.  The program will install and execute.

 

In order to install the Outlook Time Zone Data Update Tool, you will have to have local administrator rights on your computer. 
Running the tool requires no special privileges.  The program installs in:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 \Office Outlook Time Zone Data Update Tool.  There are two files:  TZmove.exe and TZMover.dll. 
The name of the program executable is the same as the installation executable.

 

 The first screen only appears on installation:

 

After Installation, the program runs.  The program can be run more than once.  By default, the mailbox for the current Outlook profile is selected. 
If you click Custom, you can select a different calendar.  Do not uncheck the “Move meetings you organized to the new time zone and send updates”. 
If you have organized a meeting, updates must be sent out to the attendees by you, otherwise, their entries will not be updated and they will show up
at the wrong time.

 

Once you click OK, then the tool scans your calendar for appointments that fall within the Extended DST period

(Mar. 11 – Apr. 1, Oct. 28 – Nov. 4)

 

Once it finds appointments to update, click on DETAILS, this is the button that will list out your appointments.  If you click ok,

it will just move all the appointments, whether correct or incorrect.

 

 

The list of all the appointments that fall within the Extended DST period will appear.  It shows the name of the appointment and

the new time that the tool will move the appointment to (1 hr. earlier than current.  Example:  Test appt 7 will move to new 3:45 PM time

from current 4:45 PM time)

 

Check and see if the new time is correct.  If so, leave the box checked.  If the time is incorrect, uncheck the box and the tool will not move

it to the new time.  (Example:  Test appt 5 is currently set at 10:00 AM, moving it will reset it to the new time of 9:00 AM, which is incorrect,

so the box is unchecked)

 

Once you click OK, the tool will move all checked appointments to the new time, as well as the reminders.  Any meetings originated by you

will have updates sent out to attendees.  If updates are not sent out, your attendees will continue to have the incorrect meeting time.  When it

is done, Finished will appear in the lower left corner.
