Version 2 of the Exchange rebasing tool is out and folks say it's a lot better than V1..but I understand that while V1 could be used on older Exchange versions, this one is for 2003.

Many folks are just saying use the Outlook standalone tool and let your end users screw up their own mailbox times and dates.

Once I read that the exchange DST must be uninstalled, and this tool run, then the exchange DST reinstalled, I gave up.  We're doing it manually with end-users ultimately responsible, but we will provide support in the week after.

Consulting on Microsoft software pays my bills, but I'm _SO_ frustrated with Microsoft's poor response to the DST change. The last straw, for me, came when I downloaded v1 of the Exchange "re-basing" tool, and saw the "Readme" that popped up after extracting the files telling me not to install the program into the default directories, but rather to install into something off the root of the "C:" "drive" (presumably because the batch files it creates don't have double-quotes around the name of the program it calls).

I don't think Microsoft could've screwed this up any worse if they'd tried. They've now made me look like an idiot in front of several Customers. This only hardens my resolve to get as many Customers as I can to start using the open-source alternatives that I use, myself, every day (Microsoft Office-free since 2004!), if only out of spite.

Can we assume from your post that you didn't read the "read me" file first?

If this is the case, you can hardly blame Microsoft for what you installed wrongly on your clients server before at MINIMUM testing it out in a lab or your own production environment.
