Article ID: 2570791 - Last Review: October 12, 2011 - Revision: 12.0

August 2011 cumulative time zone update for Windows operating systems

View products that this article applies to.

Support for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ended July 12, 2011. To continue receiving security updates for Windows, make sure that you are running Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (SP2). For more information, refer to this Microsoft webpage:
Support is ending for some versions of Windows (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/end-support-windows-xp-sp2-windows-vista-without-service-packs)

Important This update supersedes and replaces update 2443685, which was released in December 2010. This update also includes additional time zone changes released as hotfixes after update 2443685 was published.

If you have already deployed update 2443685, read the descriptions of the specific time zone changes that are addressed in this article to determine whether you must deploy this update immediately. If systems are not directly affected, you can schedule deployment at the next available opportunity.

We recommend that you deploy the most current Windows cumulative time zone update to guarantee the consistency of the time zone database on all systems.

Important

Before you apply the update that is described in this article, be aware of potential issues that may affect Microsoft Outlook.

For more information about these issues, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
931667  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931667/ ) How to address time zone changes by using the Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office Outlook

If you are running Microsoft Exchange Server in an Information Technology (IT) environment, you must take additional measures to guarantee the correct operation of Exchange Server.

For more information about the Exchange daylight saving time (DST) update, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
941018  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941018/ ) How to address daylight saving time by using the Exchange Calendar Update Tool

Cumulative time zone updates contain only data that has changed for a specific region or that was added to maintain parity with other operating system versions. Therefore, if a time zone key is deleted, some original values may not be restored after you apply the cumulative zone update.

We do not recommend that you delete any registry keys that are related to time zones. On a computer that has incomplete time zone keys, first restore the time zone keys from a known good backup. Then, apply the update.

Introduction

This cumulative update also includes additional fixes not included in previous released hotfixes. For more information about how DST changes may affect other Microsoft products, visit the following Microsoft website:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst)
For more information about how daylight saving time changes may affect other Microsoft products, view the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
914387  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387/ ) How to configure daylight saving time for Microsoft Windows operating systems
Note When you apply this update, you may receive the following message:

Update cannot be installed as a newer or same time zone update has already been installed on the system.

Known issues
After you install this update, conversion of old 2011 winter dates from UTC to local time for the affected Russian time zones uses the incorrect offset (+4 instead of +3 in the case of Russian Standard time). This issue affects the old winter dates only (January 2011 until the start of DST in 2011).
