Entourage misunderstands Mac Time Zone - Entourage 2006

[jasonkonzak]

I have a system running Entourage 2006 under Leopard and every time
the user goes to create a new calendar event it says that the
computer's time zone is Monrovia / Casablanca. I've checked the time
zone in the system preferences control panel, the time zone setting in
Entourage preferences, the user settings in Exchange 2007. Everything
is set correctly, new events appear in the correct time zone and time,
the only issue seems to be the yellow alert bar that comes up. Has
anyone seen this before? Anything to be done?

Thanks

There is no Entourage 2006.

Entourage does use the Mac's system for determining time and time zones.
It could be related to your Date Format setting, especially the medium or
short format. Entourage doesn¹t support all types of the format. So
sometimes you will see such errors. Please check it by following steps:

1. Go to International tab in your System preference
2. Select ³Formats² tab
3. check your Dates format.
4. Customize the short and medium format to as similar as the US style.
5. Restart Entourage should show the change.

Also there is a hotfix for Exchange. Not sure if this affects your problem.
