Is there anything that needs to be done in scalix to accommodate the DST change?

I'll second the question. Assuming that the Scalix server OS is properly patched for the DST change... once the PC OS is patched, will each Outlook user need to run the Outlook Time Zone Data Update Tool (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931667)? Or is there anything that needs to be run on the Scalix data directly (like the Exchange Server DST update) instead?

Doing some testing, after the Windows XP patch was applied to my client, dates in the Extended DST period were off in Outlook by 1 hour (St. Patrick's Day, Halloween spanned two days). Running the Outlook utility ***and selecting only those appointments that were existing previous to the OS patch*** looks like it solved that problem.
The only thing I can't test is rolling the clocks forward on the Scalix server and PC to make sure that when March 11 comes here in the US that things will still be on time.

Just bumping this thread. Scalix guys, is there a tool you guys have that can be run against the calendar data on the server to correct the time offset during the extended DST period (like Exchange, Lotus Notes, etc.), or will every user of Outlook have to run the Microsoft utility individually?
