OUTLOOK Calendar Time

[John C. Harris, MPA]

This one has me stumped, so I am turning to the wise people of this group as
a last resort.

I have all users on XP Pro machines running Outlook 2003 on a Exchange 2K
server. One system time is correct (lets say 3:00). Everyone else in the
office has the correct system times also (3:00). I enter in a calendar item
for today at 2:00 until 4:00. Another user enters an appointment from 3:00
to 5:00. They show up as such on the local systems and on each other
systems. When the first user, however, looks at the calendar item she sees
them both scheduled an hour earlier. She schedules an appointment for 1:00
to 2:00, sees it as the correct time locally, and everyone else also sees it
as the correct time. So basically, she is seeing everything anyone else
enters as one hour earlier. I check her system time, as stated earlier, and
it is correct. It is set to allow for DST, as is everyone else. Anyone have
ideas as to the cause of this.

I would make sure that you have the time zones set on all machines
correctly, including the server.

Do this not just in the system clock, but in outlook.

(Outlook 2003)
Tools --> Options --> Calendar Options --> Time Zone button in lower right

$10 says that the Outlook time zones are wrong, but the system time zone is
right.

Are the setting in Tools>Options>Calendar Options>Time Zone correct?

Try this, within her Outlook, go Tools, Options, Calendar
Options, Time Zone and see if this is set the same as her
system options. Also compare this with the other users
and what their settings are in this field. It could be
that a difference here is causing the discrepancy. And
the "adjust for daylight savings time" here causes some
problems too. You might compare that with other users.
Hope this helps.
