How the product handles dates:
- Storage. Dates in the Exchange Client are stored and manipulated as full 4-digit dates. Both the serverÆs and clientÆs system clocks are used for current date and time data. Date manipulation follows the standard of using 64-bit DATETIMEs that supports date/times from January 1, 1970 through January 31, 2079. The only exception is Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer, whose custom date fields are stored as string values. See Common date usage error below.
- Formatting. Dates are displayed in 2-digit and 4-digit formats, using the short date format (YY) and long date format (YYYY) specified in the International applet in the Control Panel. The date entry fields in the Find/Filter Items dialog accept only inputs in the 2-digit year format
- Date Entry Parsing. The date entry fields in the Exchange Client are those in the Advanced Find and Filter Items dialogs, which are also used by the Inbox Assistant and Out Of Office Assistant. These fields accept only 2-digit year inputs. Inputs of 80-99 and 00-79 are parsed into years 1980 through 2079, regardless of what the current year is.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
Two-digit year entries in the Exchange Client are parsed into years 1980 through 2079. Two-digit displays use the short date format specified in the International applet in the Control Panel.
Common date usage error:
For end-to-end compliance when using the Exchange Client, use a Year 2000 compliant mail server, including Exchange Server 4.0 Service Pack 5 or Exchange Server 5.0 Service Pack 2 or greater. Note that other parts of e-mail connectivity need to be Year 2000 compliant as well, for example client transports, server connectors, gateways.
The Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer is a Visual Basic 4.0 16-bit application. It will default 2-digit dates to the century of the current system date. The Short and Long date fields on Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer are stored as string values. These custom date fields will not sort or filter normally. Please see the Visual Basic (16-bit) Product Guide for details on Visual Basic 4.0 compliance issues.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other non-compliant products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with Year 2000 compliant Exchange Server and other Microsoft products can be conducted safely.
See Exchange Server compliance information for details on server issues.
