We are currently using GroupWise 4.1 API gateway on Netware 6.5 and it has been working flawlessly. However, now that we are approaching Daylight Savings Time, all of our dates are off by an hour. I have created a new DST entry and changed the dates to March 11 and November 4, but they are still an hour off? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Yes, they were off. I believe the problem is that the Novell server states that DST starts April 1 to October 28, which of course is incorrect. I know if I change it on the server, I may run into synthetic time issues. Just not sure what to do at this point.

Ok, the thing that confused me was that you mentioned the DST change..
Verify the Time Zone parameter.. where are you located? It could be in the Autoexec.ncf or the TIMESYNC.CFG..
Novell has a patch that will change the DST Start and Stop dates for you. I can't recall what the name is, but it's on the patch site.
Even if you get synthetic time, you can work through that. The important thing is to get the time correct. If you're not already synch'ing to an external source, you should set that up as well so you have precision accuracy.. Then it's just a matter of making sure your time zone parameter is set correctly.

There's also a global Time Zone configuration within GroupWise that you probably need to update..

Are you referring to the Time Zones in GroupWise System Operations? If so, I have changed that. I did find something out. It is workstation specific. When I calendar an item from the server and open GroupWise, the time is correct. When I open GroupWise on my PC, it is not correct. I have applied the Microsoft XP patch and am stilling having this issue.
You need to run the time adjuster. See link below.

The gwcheck patch to fix GroupWise appointments. When I select this link there is a download.novell link, but it does not work.

Well the link has a typo in it, but still is just trying to point you to I'm guessing they'll put an actual link once they have it available.

Got this in my email today from Novell. I think it's the link you're looking for.
