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

*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.

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.

Recreating a VMFS-3 or VMFS-5 partition table in ESXi 5.x

For this kind of issues you need to engage VMware support on this, following any part of this article could lead to more complex situation if not ran by an expert.   Symptoms Datastore does not mount because of a lost or overwritten partition table.   Purpose When a VMFS partition is created in ESX 3.x or ESX 4.x, it has a Master Boot Record (MBR) partition map. The MBR is written to the first 512 B block (LBA0) and contains the information where the (VMFS) partition starts and ends. ESXi 5.0 introduced VMFS-5, which uses a GUID partition table (GPT) for new datastores. When a VMFS-3 partition is created in ESXi 5.x and is later updated to VMFS-5, the original partition map (MBR) is maintained. If the partition information of a VMFS datastore is deleted or overwritten (for example, by a Windows system with direct access to the same disks), it is impossible to determine if the partition map was GPT or MBR. The only time you can be sure that a GPT partition map was used is if th...
