The software giant said that it has issued a Hotfix for a bug that causes computers running on Greenwich Mean Time to set Exchange Server meetings ahead one hour during the last week of October.
The problem, according to Microsoft, is that a bug in the software causes the Collaborative Data Objects (CDO) software to set its clock for the end of daylight saving time on the fourth Sunday of October. This year, the Greenwich Mean Time will end daylight savings time on the fifth Sunday of the month.
Microsoft said that only applications that use CDO to manage calendars (such as Outlook Web Access) that are configured to the GMT time zone will be affected.
The company added that users can download a fix, but the patch requires Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server Pack 2. The company suggests that users who are not severely affected by the problem wait for the next server pack release rather than installing the Hotfix, which is due to receive additional testing.
Microsoft said that the problem should not occur again until the next October with five Sundays, in the year 2010.
