Microsoft Outlook and Daylight savings time

[Chris Lowder]

Hello,

I am having a problem in my company with all appointment in the clients
computers pushed ahead by 1 hour after daylight savings time.

I checked both the system's and Outlook's settings and they both match, also
we have an Exchange Server and that is set properly as well.

This is causing a lot of problems and the high-ups to start yelling, which
is never a good thing.

If you can please help me, I would really appreciate it.

if the time zone and the daylight time setting were correct before the time
change, it will be correct after. if they aren't correct now, you'll need
to set the computer so the appointment is correct, export to excel or CSV
and set the time settings so the computer is correct then import.

Thats the thing that gets me, you are trying to tell me that 3000+ users have
the timezone on their computer and Outlook are wrong. I checked here before
posting and made sure that the 300 at one building was set correctly and they
are, they still have this problem.

Now, if I uncheck auto adjust time for daylight savings on the PC, all the
appointments are right but the time on the PC is off by 1 hour.

Also, I have checked the Exchange Server that we are running the emails off
of and the timezone on that is set up right as well.

if the time zone and the daylight time setting were correct before the time
change, it will be correct after. if they aren't correct now, you'll need
to set the computer so the appointment is correct, export to excel or CSV
and set the time settings so the computer is correct then import.

I am also having the same issue. Daylight Savings Time is checked for
Central time US & Canda. Appointments are pushed ahead one hour and the
president missed an important meeting that really started an hour earlier.
Some of the appointments he has were made before Daylight Savings Time went
into effect; they are recurring appointments. This is a mess and I am also
feeling the heat!

NO other sugestions?? Ok, well let me see if I cna supply some more info,
currently this problem is accuring on PCs that are sharing the calendar view
with someone else. Now, I am not sure if that calendar sharing is the cause
or not, but it should point you in a new direction.

Did you make the appointments then change the time zone to something else?
(Ie, go from Indiana to CST). If so, you need to change the zone back,
export the appointments to excel or CSV, fix the time and import.

Are both computers set for the same time zone and DST setting? if not,
you'll see this problem - the person who made the appointment see the
correct time, the other person is an hour ahead or behind.

Both parties were set correctly. I am sorry to sound rude, but I said that I
made sure that everyone who is saying they have a problem with their
appointments being off were set to the correct time zone on their computer,
their outlook and the Exchange server that is hosting the emails for this
school district. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT!


Now, to fix the problem, I had to uncheck auto adjust time and/or more the
time zone around to get it so that the times on both computers are right, if
I fix it back to the original (With the time zones becoming exactly the same)
then it will be off by an hour on one computer, Times about 300 in the
district that are having this problem. I am starting get rather annoyed
really fast at how one tracked the solution for this problem is.

Are both computers set for the same time zone and DST setting? if not,
you'll see this problem - the person who made the appointment see the
correct time, the other person is an hour ahead or behind.

Then it appears that when the appointments were made, one or more of the
machines involved were set incorrectly. The solution is one-track because
that's the only way known to fix the problem.

 

[Chris Lowder]

Then that brings me back to, how can 300 computers out of the 5,000+ we have
in the district be set wrong when that all have the same image, same
settings, same software installed on them?

PS: I am making a guess on the 300, because so far that is all the people
who have mentioned that they have this problem to date.

Beats me. We have nearly that many people and not one had any problem at
all.

 

[Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]]

We Outlook MVPS tested this problem (not having DST ticked by default) and
some of us had it ticked, others didn't. We all have pretty much the same
setups.

IOW, I don't know and neither does Microsoft.
