Summary

This update supersedes and replaces the update that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article 2863058, which was released in August 2013. All additional time zone changes that were released as hotfixes after update 2863058 was released are incorporated in this update.

If you have already deployed update 2863058, 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 no systems are 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, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    931667 How to address time zone changes by using the Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office Outlook

  • 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.

    Note 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.

More Information
