Groove 3.1 IM/Chat/etc. times incorrect after DST change

[Luke Davis]

To being with, at this time we cannot upgrade our clients to Groove 2007 so
that is not an option. The official statement I have heard from MS support
is that no patches will be released for the DST change for Groove 3.1.

That being said, have those of you still on Groove 3.1 noticed the time off
by one hour for instant messages, chat, etc.? If so, what message have you
sent out to your users regarding the change?

I've already gotten a couple of questions from users and am attempting to
draft a nontechnical message to them explaining what's up.

Hi Luke -

Its working OK here with people across a number of US and international time
zones.

Have you applied any DST patches for your operating systems?

 

[Luke Davis]

Yes Mark, my Windows XP system time is correct and the correct time zone is
selected. Several other onsite users, all on Windows XP with the correct
system clock and time zone, are experiencing the same issue.

We are all on Groove 3.1 Build 3.1a.2390. What build and OS are you on?

I'm very interested in this answer too. The patches have been applied and
the PC shows correct time. Any chat, message in groove, a new discussion
document in the Starndart workspace - has an incorrect timestamp
Thanks

As an FYI, here's the message I sent to our user base:
With regards to the early start date for Daylight Savings Time, Microsoft is
NOT releasing a patch for the Groove Virtual Office 3.1 software. You may
have noticed that your Chat, Discussion, and Instant Messages timestamps are
off by one hour. This is normal behavior and should only affect Groove from
March 11, 2007 through April 2, 2007 and from October 29, 2007 through
November 4, 2007.

Thanks, that's helpful. I just upgraded to the latest build of Groove from
Jan.25, 07 hoping that it may help, but it didn't fix the problem.
