Please note the following, this fix does not appear to be available through WSUS. You will need to download it manually then distribute it using Startup Scripts, SMS, or SCCM.

Remember you need to test whatever method you are going to use (Hotfix through Scripts, SMS, SCCM, TZEdit) on a test environment first and on all the platforms you are going to support before implementing it on the production systems.

On how you will deploy the MSI package through active directory and Group policy (GPOs) please find the below link.

Note: Some of you might have faced problems with Outlook Calendar items being changed 1 hour earlier after applying the DST patch. This is an expected issue and this is how it should be.



For some customers, this is okay as if they were scheduling appointments with other people in different time zones, then their appointments must be shifted 1 hour earlier. For some other customers, they do not want this to happen.



Please take a look at the following resource concerning how to control Outlook Calendar with DST changes

Australia Daylight Saving Planning Guide

How to address time zone changes by using the Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office Outlook

*IMPORTANT: Please read carefully the above document and resource well and test them in a test environment first before applying them to production.

My own recommendation is to let users shift their calender items manually to avoid any unexpected issues.

the changes are happened only for the items that was created before the DST time change but after the patching everything will be normal.

Integration with vCloud Director failing after NSXT upgrade to 4.1.2.0 certificate expired

  Issue Clarification: after upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.1.2.0 observed certificate to be expired related to various internal services.   Issue Verification: after Upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.1.2.0 observed certificate to be expired related to various internal services.   Root Cause Identification: >>we confirmed the issue to be related to the below KB NSX alarms indicating certificates have expired or are expiring (94898)   Root Cause Justification:   There are two main factors that can contribute to this behaviour: NSX Managers have many certificates for internal services. In version NSX 3.2.1, Cluster Boot Manager (CBM) service certificates were incorrectly given a validity period of 825 days instead of 100 years. This was corrected to 100 years in NSX 3.2.3. However any environment originally installed on NSX 3.2.1 will have the internal CBM Corfu certs expire after 825 regardless of upgrade to the fixed version or not. On NSX-T 3.2.x interna...

Calculate how much data can be transferred in 24 hours based on link speed in data center

  In case you are planning for migration via DIA or IPVPN link and as example you have 200Mb stable speed so you could calculate using the below formula. (( 200Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 = 2TB /per day In case you have different speed you could replace the 200Mb by any rate to calculate as example below. (( 5 00Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 =  5.15TB  /per day So approximate each 100Mb would allow around 1TB per day.
