We have all of our clients on 7.0.1 on WinXP… do we need to run the JTZU tool for the DST change?

Thanks

No, you don’t need to run JTZU on your clients. Only update your OS.

you should run it (JTZU) on all your servers.

Running the JTZU tool (or upgrading to 7.0.2 FP1) is required to update the internal Java time zone tables, which are independent of the OS tables. It is a best practice to run this on all Domino servers, since third party tools or Notes applications may need these tables. Applications created with Lotus-supplied templates such as the Mail template, Discussion template, and Teamroom do not depend on Java for DST information. An update to the Java time zone tables is required for Sametime® servers. This should be done with the IBM Time Zone Update Utility for Java (JZTU) tool. The tool and instructions can be found in technote #1249964.

Edit:
