Is there a feature in Groupwise that automatically adjusts the time zones...all I can do now is decline the appointment and then reschdule it for myself at the correct time in Chicago
A:
Here's a great TID that explains all of the different factors that could affect the time in GroupWise to help you find out where the problem is.
- The Time zone definition that the server running the POA is using.
- The Time zone definition of the timezone assigned to the domain in GroupWise.
- The Time zone definition of the timezone assigned to the Post Office in GroupWise.
- The Time zone definition on the timezone workstation where the client is running.
See TID10081255 - Figuring out GroupWise Time issues for all the details.
