When I accept meeting requests, it sets themeeting time to EST, when I am in MTN time zone

[natemorris1]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

When my office administrator sends me a meeting request from her computer (PC with Outlook '07), and I accept a meeting request, it set's the meeting time as EST, but we are both in MTN time zone, and have checked the settings on both of our computers as well as the exchange server, and everything is set to MTN. This happens on my computer as well as on 2 other macs with Entourage...

Can anyone help?

Check Entourage menu --> Preferences... --> Calendar. What is your
default time zone?

Also, what version of Exchange are you using and is it in the same time
zone or a different time zone from you?

I recall that a hotfix for a problem similar to this may be available or
else it was included in a service pack.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply Bill!

We did check time zones on all the computers involved, and the computers' time zones and the mail clients' time zones are all set correctly. I was wondering if it has something to do with the fact that the person who is sending us the meeting requests is using Outlook on a PC?

We did check the time zones in the web-based outlook for each of the exchange accounts, but that seems to be set correctly as well. Is there another place that the time zone would be set for the exchange server that could be throwing it all off?

Thanks so much!

Any chance that one or more of the machines hasn't been updated to indicate
that DST in the US ends the first Sunday in November instead of the last
Sunday in October, as it used to?

That's a good thought, but I don't think that's it, because when I open the event on the calendar, it says that the event time zone is set to EST, and it shows it as being 2 hours ahead of my time zone, not just one...

I checked with our administrator for the exchange server too, and he said the settings are all correct on the server.

Really weird, can't figure it out.
