Meeting Maker Update
• Started looking at Upgrading around the
beginning of November 2006
• Weighted Options
– For Users: They would have learn a new client
interface, which would probably change again with
more and more people migrating to the new
Exchange Email and Calendaring Solution
– For Local Support: Pain of dealing with application
installations and users support
– For Administrators: Less resources to deal with
current projects

Maker

moving users off of MM
Resources in Exchange 2007

meetings in Exchange 2007
Information Technology
Meeting Maker Update
• Solution for DST (Daylight Saving Time) with
Meeting Maker 7.5.3
– Upgrade to 8.6 unnecessary if majority of users or
machines are located in the same Time Zone (Ex. All
user are on Eastern Time Zone) and not booking
meetings across multiple Time Zones
– Meeting Maker Client & Server applications are both
totally dependent on System OS Date & Time
• Windows DST patches must be applied on all PCs
• MAC Updates ?
