Outlook 2007 - All Day Calendar Entries view in different time zon

[SJMP]

When a user from MST (Colorado) sets up an All Day Calendar entry, it shows
up as 2am to the next day when viewed on EST local machine.

The user in CO is using outlook 2007 sp1 in cached mode, from a domain
joined machine, using a P2P VPN tunnell to access exchange 2007 server.

When I open the entry it does show 12am-12pm MST but why does it not adjust
according when views on EST local machines. All other calendar entries adjust
accordingly. Why not this?

Thanks

When a user from MST (Colorado) sets up an All Day Calendar entry, it
shows
up as 2am to the next day when viewed on EST local machine.

Of course, because midnight MST is 2AM EST.

The user in CO is using outlook 2007 sp1 in cached mode, from a domain
joined machine, using a P2P VPN tunnell to access exchange 2007 server.

All versions of Outlook have behaned this way. However, since the user in
CO has Outlook 2007, he should be able to select the timezone for the
meeting.

When I open the entry it does show 12am-12pm MST but why does it not
adjust
according when views on EST local machines. All other calendar entries
adjust
accordingly. Why not this?

It does adjust. It shows the correct time in the EST that corresponds to
the MST time when the event was created.

Not really an all day event set up on a shared calendar in MST becomes a two
day event on the calendar in EST. Thats why I wondered why ALL day events are
actually being altered in outlook sharing calendars across different time
zones.

Selecting the Time Zone for the meeting doesnt matter. An All Day Event does
not let you change the time zone when creating the entry.

They're not being altered. Outlook stores all events in UTC (GMT) and
adjusts the display to match the time zone on the local PC. All day events
are, by definition, events that run from midnight to midnight IN THE LOCAL
TIME ZONE. 12AM to 12 AM in MST is identical to 2 AM to 2AM in EST.

My question is how to make it show up as an "entire day" event. have the
originator set it up in EST from MST

Hi Parkis,

Thank you for posting.

From your post, I understand you would like to have All Day event meeting
which generated from MST time zone client to show as an ¡°entire day¡±
event on Outlook which is in EST time zone. If I'm off base, please feel
free to let me know.

Regarding the issue, I would like to explain some more information how the
meeting request is sent. From the following information which I gathered
from an All Day event Meeting request. You are able to see that the meeting
request is sent with the start date, end date and the time zone which you
set.

0x81B4001E (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)
PR_START_DATE 08:00:00AM 12/08/2008
PR_EED_DATE 08:00:00AM 12/09/2008

When the message reach the recipient mailbox, it will be saved to the
Calendar folder with the same Mapi attribute as the meeting request
message. Then, when Outlook attempt to display the meeting, it will convert
to correct time based on the client time zone setting.

Note: Please understand that these Mapi attribute will not be changed. If
you change the time zone, the display information will also be changed
automatically.

Therefore, you either need to modify the recipient client time zone setting
to MST or send the meeting request with the EST time zone. You can select
time zone when sending meeting request by referring to following screenshot:



I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Mike Shen
