Error 10000 Date format issue

Question

Hi all,
Has anyone seen the following error please or has a troubleshooting hint: -
"[NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM (15/10/2012 18:35:12) - Service request cancelled due to an error.
Error Code: 10000
Error Description: Failed to create lease requisition.
Fault code: soap:Server
Fault string: Service Form Field: 'WarningDate2' has Date format issue.
Fault details: REQ_0024Service Form Field: 'WarningDate2' has Date format issue.
CIAC = 3.01
Date and Time format on the CCP, CPO, vmware and SQL servers all Italian (dd/mm/yy)
This only happens when we add a Lease Time on the request.
Do they all have to be set to the US format for this to work?
If this is a regional setting thing, do I have to change the format on all of the servers (CIAC components)?
Cheers
md

public class ExpandYear
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException
     SimpleDateFormat sdf_2dyear = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
     SimpleDateFormat sdf_4dyear = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
     String test1 = "3/21/00";
     System.out.println("test1: " + test1 + " to : " +
                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test1)));
     String test2 = "4/9/99";
     System.out.println("test2: " + test2 + " to : " +
                  sdf_4dyear.format(sdf_2dyear.parse(test2)));
