Russia Time Zone - Outlook Meetings/Calendar issue

Hello all,
we are having issues with meeting requests in our our russian office since the last change to winter time in october.
We patched all clients with KB2998527 and are running Exchange 2010 SP3u5.
Meetings between the person setting up the Meeting and the resource calendar are still offset by an hour in Outlook 2010.
Do we need to deploy KB2998527 to our Exchange Servers only or do we need to deploy CU7 when it gets available as well?
Unfortunately, the information in the Exchange TechNet Blog in not very precise.
Thank you!
Best regards
Matthias

Hi,
Three factors affect the scheduling of a meeting in Microsoft Outlook:
The clock setting (time) of the computer.
The local time zone setting of the computer.
The daylight saving time adjustment setting of the computer.
All three factors must be set correctly on both the meeting organizer's computer and on each attendee's computer to ensure meetings display at the correct times.
Refer from
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/troubleshoot-time-zones-HP001022309.aspx
Although this troubleshoot applies to Outlook 2003, we can also check these in Outlook 2010 for reference.
Hope this will be helpful for you.

How to use time zone settings with calendar events ??

After looking through the questions on time zones and synchronization, I still cannot get my Palm Centro to operate the way I think it should.
I have a Verizon Centro, am using Windows XP with Outlook, and synching via the Hotsync manager 7.02 over a USB cable. I am not using Palm Desktop.
I am expecting events to shift time in the calendar when I change the time zone, but they do not.
I am preparing for a trip. I enter several test events into MS Outlook placing the events to occur in a different time zone into my calendar at the time the event would occur in my home time zone (NY). For example, a meeting from 9-10 AM in Los Angeles is put in my MS outlook calendar as 12-1 PM on the day of the meeting. Then I sync, with the time zone of my Centro and Outlook set for New York. The Centro is set to update Date, Time, Zone automatically from the network in New York. The meeting event appears as 12-1 PM on the correct day.
Then I turn off the Centro phone (ie disconnect from the Verizon network), change the time update to "Nothing" -- ie entirely manual, change the time zone to Los Angeles and set the time to the correct time in Los Angeles. I expect the meeting to shift to 9-10 AM in my Centro calendar, but it does not !!!!! I try other combinations -- Leave the time update on Date and Time automatic, and change the time zone to Los Angeles, etc. I think I tried all the combinations. Throughout, I leave the Centro phone off of the Verizon network. I cannot get the meeting to change its time in the new time zone.
What is the trick ??? What did I miss ??
You might ask why I am trying this with the phone turned off -- that is because I am really going much farther than LA, and into a GSM network where I will simply use the Centro as a PDA.
Any advice appreciated.

thepoeta --
Thanks for the response.
Indeed my preference was not set "new events use time zones".
Meanwhile, I had loaded all the applointments from Outlook, about 20 of them,
figuring I would just move them manually en route.
I will play with the time zone preference, but,
is there any way to identify the existing appointments in the
Palm as belonging to a different time zone, just using the Palm Centro ?
Thanks,
Neal

HT4576 "Time Zone Support" in Calendars should be renamed to "Override Time Zone Support"

So, I live on the East coast and notice, while on a trip just outside Cupertino, that my iPhone Calendar wasn't updating to the the local time, even though my iPhone had correctly updated to PST.
Finally, at the end of my trip, oh so nigh to Cupertino, I find out that my Calendar's erroneous display of time was due to the "Time Zone Support" configuration option.
This is a GROSS misnomer.
iOS requires the specification of a timezone - else the time would be set arbitrarily and would waste the time (NTP) service provided by the cellular provider.
Thus, the "Time Zone Support" option under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" should be relabeled to "Override Time Zone Support" AND the ability to assign an event to a time zone should always be available (though defaulting to the current time zone - unless a 'Default Time Zone' configuration option is added).

The behavior you are seeing is actually inherent in most calendar apps -- the deal is that you are telling your calendar when something happens, not what time. Our company writes a calendaring+task management app for iPhone called Pocket Informant - we get this same question on occassion, so I wrote up a Knowledge Base article discussing some details (keep in mind - this article discusses some features specific to our app that you won't find in iCal/Calendar on MacOS X):
http://webis.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/123/0/why-do-the-times-change -on-my-appointments-when-i-travel-to-a-different-time-zone
In iCal/Calendar on MacOS X, when you turn on Time Zone support, you then get to choose the time zone that you are entering your appointment for. This helps you not have to do the "time zone math" in your head. Thus, if you are in CST and want to set up an appointment for 6pm PST, you can choose PST in the event editor as you enter 6pm. Note that while you are in CST, your event will display in your calendar at "CST time" (8pm), but when you fly out to PST, it will show the "correct" PST time.
While iCal/Calendar supports "floating time zones", I personally would caution against using them for everything (I mentioned a few reasons why in the above kbase article). Use those for events that truly are "time driven" rather than "point in time" driven (such as "I want to go jogging every morning at 5am no matter what time zone I'm in).
Hope that helps some!

How can I change the time zone for a calendar entry with iOS 7?

I want to make a new entry in my calendar (iOS 7) using a different time zone as the one I'm located in. There isn't any option to choose the time zone like there is in OS X.
I know I can switch off the option to automatically change the time zone in the preference pane of Mail, Contacts and Calendar to get the option in calendar but I want to use this automatic switch.
Is there any option to change the time zone of a calendar entry without loosing this automatic switch?

Got it!
In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

Why do I have two time zones in my calendar?

With a recent move to a new time zone I now have two time zone in my calendar. My area code is in a central time zone but have moved to the east coast.
I have checked my icloud calendar, iPhone settings and each is set to eastern time.

Hi beachbouy,
If you need to change the time zone for your calendars in iCloud, use the steps in this article -
iCloud: Change your calendar’s time zone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Notification time zone different than calendar time zone

On the iPad...
Notification of a calendar event is displayed in Eastern time zone while the calendar event is scheduled in Central time zone.
Notifications and Calendar are both set to automatic.
How does one get Notifications to display Calendar events as Central time zone?
The MacBook Pro displays both Notifications and Calendar events as Central time zone.

"srvctl setenv database -d fawms -t TZ=CST6CDT" but it didn't work. The DB. is taken the timezone CST5CDT."
As long as you set it the timezone that way - should be good -
Just remember though if you logged in as SYS - you will not see the timezone change from your command at the crs level

Outlook 2010 Calendar issue - can't delete items of shared calendar, but can move it of

So I'm deploying Office 2010 to our group and our office assistant/receptionist helps manage several calendars and he was able to do so witout problem after the upgrade from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2010. But the other day out of the blue he started to not
be able to add meetings to peoples calendar, but that now works in part to the /cleanfreebusy switch, but he is not able to delete meetings from other peoples calendar. He keeps getting the following error mesg: "Could not complete the deletion.
The items may have been already deleted or moved. "
He does have full editor access for the calendars. The other users are still using Office 2003, except for two (who are using 2010), but he has the same issue with their calendar also. Now here is the really strange thing, he is able to drag and move (holding
the shift key down) the appointment from the users calendar to his and then it's gone from the other persons calendar, then he is able to delete it from his calendar without any issues.
I have removed and recreated the Outlook exchange mail profile. The meetings he puts on peoples calendar does show on those peoples calendar. I've run every Outlook command
line switch I could find.
Help!

Dear David,
Based on my research, this issue might be related to many factors, such as some third-party add-ins’ conflicts. At this time, I suggest checking the issue by
starting Outlook in safe mode.
Start the Outlook program in safe mode
==============
1.
Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
Microsoft Office.
2.
Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click
Microsoft Outlook.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them. Normally,
you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Outlook program:
Disable add-ins
a.
Click
File menu à click Options à
Add-in à click Go button in the Manage:
Com-in Add.
b.
Check if there are any add-ins,
clear the checkbox to disable them.
c.
Close the Office program and
restart it.
d.
Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Best Regards,
Sally Tang

With Time Zone Support on Calendar no longer automatically adjust to the local timezone.

Apples support forums are riddled with Discussions about problems with being able to dicate a specific time zone for appointments. Many of these postings, as well as their corresponding solutions, are unnecessarily lenghtly when the root cause of all of this is a one very simple mistake by Apple. Right now to be able to assign a specifc timezone for an appointment using the Calendar app on the iPhone you have to have "Time Zone Support" turned on in Settings. The problem is that when you turn on this feature the Calendar app stops automatically updating the calendar to reflect the local time zone you are in. These are simply two seperate items that have no reason to be tied together. Apple could easily correct almost all of the issues people are having with this topic if it simply split this into two seperate options that users can turn on/off seprately:
1.) Enter time zone for each appointment. YES/NO
2.) Adjust Calendar to the local timezone. YES/NO
It is virturally incomprehensible that Apple has not fixed this. It was clearly a mistake.

I have this problem too and am frustrated - it's not solving no matter what i do. And now Siri is totally bonkers too on this new software update - can't even pull from my contacts when I ask her to look someone up. What the heck is going on at Apple software? Have they been hiring a bunch of arrogant, crap programmers? I am seriously thinking of not buying an iPhone again after having one for 5 years. So disappointed!!

Synchronization messes up time zones and scrambles calendar

Hi, my problem is I live in Venezuela, and 6 months ago, Venezuela modified its time zone to GMT-04:30. Microsoft already has honored this change, and created a new time zone with that offset.
Apparently, RIM hasn't. So I use the standard GMT-04:00 in my Pearl and set it not to synchronize time with any server.
But when I try to synchronize with outlook, it apparently works fine, but the pearl changed zone to some strange GMT -10 african zone, and each entry in the calendar is Physicaly moved to the new time, obviously messing up my calendar.
How do I Approach RIM in order for them to create the revised time zone for Venezuela ??
Any other Ideas ?

Do what I did - turn off time synch on the desktop, and just configure the phone to synch with the network. It's likely that your phone network has the proper time and date.

Multiple time zones for one calendar entry

I'm running iCal on Lion 10.7.4 , as well as the Calendar app on iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone and my iPad. When traveling, I sometimes have a starting time in one time zone and an ending time in another. (When flying from NY to CA, for example.) Is there some way I can have two time zones within a given event for cases such as this? I've turned on Time Zone support in iCal, but that only allows me to set a one-off time zone for an entire event.
Microsoft Outlook on a Windows machine allows for this; is there any way for me to do it on my Mac, iPhone, or iPad?

Hi,
You could set the event, then change the timezone to the destination one and then set the end time. When you switch timezones the start and end times should change in iCal (unless the event is set to floating).

ICal ignores time zone in published calendar

I'm trying to make a an online calendar that is automatically generated using events from a database.
All events are in the Dutch time zone, so I added a time zone component to the .ics file. When I try to subscribe to the calendar in iCal everything works fine, except for the fact that the time zone information seems to be ignored and all events are displayed 2 hours too late because they are set to UTC/GMT.
This is an example of the generated .ics file:

What am I doing wrong here? Does anybody know an online calendar in a non-standard time zone that works in iCal that I can use as an example?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) iCal version 2.0 (1024)

mm, that doesn't sound so comfortable. I'll stay with the time counting.
Thanks for reply;)

Thanks

Outlook 2007 , calendar issues with creating meetings - any ideas?

Hi All
My boss has a Mac and has installed office 2007. Configured Outlook to connect to our office exchange, all ok.
Now, to book meetings we use the resources field when added someone. This is not visble in the mac version of office.
Now, also a issues he has seen which I have witnessed, that if he creates a meeting via his Windows machine in outlook, as soon as he opens Outlook on his mac, all meetings become unbooked. They are still there, just all marked as provisional and hence what happens, he goes to the meeting, to only find the room booekd out to someone else as its only marked as provsional.
Any ideas, anyone else seen this?
Cheers
Scott

Since this is software issue with Outlook, and not one related to Macs or Mac OS, you should probably post your question on an Outlook forums:

Outlook 2013 - Calendar issues: Suggestions cannot be provided because free/busy data could not be retrieved

I noticed recently that I cannot see anymore free/busy information for my own organization colleagues.
I'm using Outlook 2013 (latest updates) upon Exchange 2010 (SP ?).
The suggestion DO work on my account using OWA.
Other users w/Outlook 2010 have no problems.
I tried to run "outlook /cleanfreebusy" but that switch isn't supported anymore in outlook 2013.
Anyone can help ?
Thanks

Hi,
I didn't say two but three places.
Actually, my wording is a bit confusing. In terms of where you go to remove them, it is indeed "Program and features" and "see installed updates". Now within there, I had the KB listed several times (3) under different products (like "Microsoft Outlook 2013"
and "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013") and I had to uninstall the KB from all three entries.
Note that, as per Robert Sparnaaij (http://www.howto-outlook.com, http://www.msoutlook.info)
: "I’m aware of the issues but they are not as black and white as the article(s) suggest(s) and not that widespread either to do a general recommendation to uninstall
a security update. In case of the IMAP issues, they are actually wrong.", and "It was said to
be fixed with Path Tuesday for December (December 10) but unfortunately somehow the Outlook 2013 update missed the cut. It got published on December 13 after all but only was approved a little over 24 hours ago as KB2850061. However, at the moment, only the
downloads are available but not yet the KB article nor are they currently being offered via Microsoft Update so unfortunately, the issue will drag on a bit longer. I’ve just published an article about it here:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/news/update-2013-12-ol2013.htm".
Lastly, "The KB article of the November update confirms that it fixes the Autodiscover connectivity issues with Exchange 2007:
If you are using Outlook to connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 mailbox:
You receive an error message that resembles either of the following when you try to configure Automatic Replies (Out of Office): Your automatic reply settings cannot be
displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
You cannot retrieve Free/Busy data for calendar scheduling.
Add-ins that use the Account.SmtpAddress property no longer work.
These features rely on an underlying
Autodiscover technology. After you install this security update, Autodiscover may fail for Exchange 2007 configurations. Therefore, Outlook features that rely
on Autodiscover will also stop working. To resolve these issues, install update 2850061."
Hope this helps.

Mac - Outlook and Calendar issues

I have an Mac with two unique users, both with seperate iPhones. I am using Microsoft Outlook as I was comfrotable with that when I made my switch. My iPhone does not sync with the Outlook Calendar though, so I don't know my schedule when I am not in the office as they don't communicate.
Is there an answer to this before I try to migrate to iCal?

Welcome!
As there are not a lot of Outlook users here, you may wish to also ask in Microsoft's Office:Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The users there are every bit as helpful as those here, and are using MS Mac products. It is a very useful resource.
