Adjusting for DST should automatically change the calendar events to occur at
their original times instead of shifting them an hour forward or an hour
behind. This causes issues with holidays and makes them take up more than 1
day. For example Easter holiday now runs from 1am Sunday to 1am Monday,
instead of 12am Sunday to 12am Monday.

Daylight Savings changed everything - 26 Apr 2006 17:51 GMT

Something similar happened to me. Everything on my calendar was messed up
after daylight savings. And the strangest was the all day events that lasted
two or three days instead of one. Why would the times change? If it was 11
before daylight, then it should have been 11 after. I really had a mess and
still have not gotten everything fixed.

It can't be a systemic problem with Outlook or everyone would have seen it.
I, for one, did not. None of my appointments were at any times other than
their originals when the DST shift occurrred. I have a lot of recurring
appointments and they (and my holidays) were all correct both before and
after the time change. Not only that, but they all changed correctly not
only with Outlook 2003 I use at work, but also on Outlook 2002 I have at
home, and the PDA I use to synchronize the two.

If you have your DST settings in both Windows and Outlook in sync, there is
no issue. The vast majority of people have had no problem. I would look to
your internal settings for the answer.

That is what was done and it still had issues. Both, Outlook and XP, were
set to East Coast with DST enabled.
