Shared Calender Problem

[Airbiskit]

I will be amazed if someone could give me the answer to this problem that has been bugging me for weeks.

I have a user who has a laptop. It is running XP with Outlook 98. When he opens up a shared calender via Exchange Server most appointments have been corrupted in the sense of adding the time in from 11pm till 11pm and spanning it over 2 days instead of one. I have logged in as myself and set up a profile to use Outlook and have had the same problem but if I log onto a another machine using myself or the user the calender opens up the way it should.

10 different users share this calender and no one experiences a problem like this. I don't know whether I need to change something local to that machine because I have deleted his profile off and started again. But no joy.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I know the problem you are experiencing, but I do not know the best solution. It is based with Daylight Savings Time and Standard Time zones. I'll bet that laptop is in a different time zone than all the other machines. I'd check that first and report back to the forum and maybe someone else has the end all solution.

I have just made all computers not change time into Daylight Savings Time zone here, because our each client desktop and laptop use a logon script to update the time to an internal server here. Btw, that same internal server is running a freeware program to check it's clock to an atomic clock. Also newer Microsoft OSes have the ability to check "time servers" out on the internet to keep correct time. I know XP home can do this, XP pro probably too.. and I beleive W2K can be set to do it with a 'net time' command, if setup correctly.

Well that worked a treat, thank you Btash. It was a case of ticking the Daylight Saving Option in Time Zones. I would never of looked there.

Thanks Again
