What version of TZMove are you using?

Hi All,  

There was new version of tzmove.exe published to the web on the 30th of August.  We highly recommend customers use this version and remove earlier versions. The knowledge base article that references this new version was update on the 5th of September 2007.

To check what version you are using please check the version of TZmove.exe file. This is located here:

“C:\program files\microsoft office\office 12\office outlook time zone data update tool\tzmove.exe”

The version should be 12.0.4518.1062, otherwise please click on the link above to download the latest version.

Changes 

We rolled up all of the “hotfixes” that were made to the original tzmove shortly after it was released and included them in the ‘core’ version of the new release (e.g. additional functionality that is useful for rebasing resources, updated logic about prerequisites for install, etc.)

A streamlined UI, that by default, doesn’t confuse the end-user with options related to ‘physical’ moves between time zones (e.g. a user permanently moving from New York to LA and wanting to update their Calendar appropriately).  Specifically, the time zone move UI is now hidden unless you provide a command-line parameter to explicitly unhide it.

Update - Steps to reporting the changes that will be made by the Outlook Time Zone Data Update tool.

You can see what modifications will be made by the Outlook Time Zone Data Update tool by using the /REPORTINGMODE option. This option creates a log that can be used for planning purposes. /REPORTINGMODE does not perform any modifications, and instead it logs the items that would be modified if the tool were not run in Reporting Mode to the Application event log.

Update (20th September) - Re-occurring appointments created by deleted users

For the deleted mailbox, users need to update those meetings manually, as there is no mapi profile to therefore connect to and update the appointments. 

Nick.
