Microsoft publishes Canadian time-zone readiness guidance for November 1
Microsoft’s guidance, updated October 28, explains impacts as affected Canadian locations stop turning clocks back on November 1. Administrators need to review application settings and existing meetings, not just device clocks.
The update adds temporary Power Automate time-zone mappings; several Dynamics 365 and Fabric mitigations remain in progress.
Business Central online configuration updates are expected to finish October 29, after which affected users must choose the appropriate regional time zone.
Microsoft recommends updating supported devices and testing critical scheduling scenarios before November 1.
Check Microsoft's current service-fix guidance for server-formatted dates; December 12 is a planned milestone, not confirmed completion.
