Daylight savings time debate

Boo to the new DST.

I'm at work this morning trying to understand where I went off the rails... The servers all have the right (new not old DST time) but the BlackBerries don't. Despite the fact that they are set to "Use Network Time" and that the network time clearly shows an hour later on the same screen. Yes, save, accept changes, nada. Restart. nada. I'm looking at three weeks (now, maybe more in the fall) of one time on the BlackBerry, and one time for everything else. It's not pretty.

Did you ever get it to work?

I'm an end user, not a sysadmin, but I do know they had some extra trouble getting the Blackberries at my firm to get the correct time. They had to patch MS Exchange on all the servers before patching the Blackberry Enterprise Server. And there was a comment about Microsoft breaking the send feature for Blackberry users.

At least, those were the broadcast e-mail excuses for why it took a while for the Blackberries to work again. And why it took like 15 minutes one day last week for my Blackberry to turn on while it was loading stuff.
