Dear Tech Republic,
The NSW Government’s choice to bring day light savings forward by several weeks last year caught many Australian I.T staff by surprise our group included. Shortly after the change we updated the time on our Netware 5.0 server then noticed some local users were 1 Hr behind and some were not when sending meeting requests using M.S Outlook 98. To rectify this problem we unchecked auto adjust for daylight savings within everyone’s local time zone settings. Workstations now received their synchronised LAN time from the Netware Server only. This worked locally bringing all users back into sync. Now when we receive a meeting request from another office also in the same time zone we receive it reported as 1Hr behind. Note: We do not have an exchange server and run mail locally, the other office mentioned does use an exchange server.
Please advise.
