Since the subject came about and I'm in the EXCHG mode right now....
Keep a couple things in mind. The calendar update tool has to be run
with elevated rights, as in a local admin of the PC. With us paranoid
healthcare people that wasn't an option, so I'm doing it on the server
side, which means I have to have full access to all mailboxes as well as
"send as" rights. Microsoft has a nice little VB script for the rights
changes. Also it does actually move appointments and send update
requests out for all recurring appointments, this means a lot of email
generated when it's run, not to mention bringing the Exchange servers to
their knees.
One issue we have seen is we deployed the scripts that make the reg-hack
to the PCs and servers via Group Policy, for some reason it only took on
about half the PCs, luckily it took on all servers. So you'll want to
insure that the patch actually is working on the Citrix servers. Easy
way to tell is that once it's patched and you haven't run the Exchange
Update tool all appointments in that 3 week period of March will be one
hour off, the tool corrects that.

Subject: [THIN] Re: Outlook, DST and Citrix
It depends on how your exchange admins want to handle it. On top of the
normal Exchange DST patch there is a calendar update that needs to be
run to update the timezone in everybody's mailbox with the new DST start
and end dates. They can either run that calendar tool for everybody on
their end, or they can leave it up to the users to run the Outlook Time
Zone Data Update tool. Read the "Options for updating mailboxes"
section of this MS KB article for a full explanation:

I hope that helps.

Subject: [THIN] Outlook, DST and Citrix
I've got our Citrix boxes patched, 2K using Tzedit and 2003 with current
updates. The exchange side of things are handled at corporate BUT does
anything have to be done with relation to Outlook and DST?
