Exchange timezone is appears to be 10 hours behind. I need to have the EST timezone for Australia. The Server running Exchange is using the correct timezone. Where else do I need to change the timezone/locale?

To change the time zone settings on your PC: click on the Start button, then go to Settings, and then Date/Time. Near the bottom of that window will be a line labeled Time zone. Click on the down arrowhead next to the box showing the current choice in order to see other choices.

All that being said, I don't know why your PC wouldn't be picking up the correct time from your Exchange server as long as you're connected. You may need to talk to a LAN administrator to see if something needs tobe done on the server side to make the connected PC show the LAN time.

The timezone settings on the PC that is running Exchange server are set for the correct time zone, however the tracking log in Exchange is 10 hours behind.

Where would I be able to ascertain whether the log date is/isn't being maintained as UTC?

As I'm posting this, I see 19:53 EDT (UTC -0400) 23 Oct on my local clock; 23:53 UTC 23 Oct ; 09:53 Melbourne 24 Oct.

I don't know where the settings in the Exchange Server are, since I don't administer one.

I'm just guessing, since I *think* you're 10 hours ahead of UTC and entries that are apparently 10 hours behind would be UTC. I'm also guessing the date on the log entries should be the giveaway.

Obviously it took me a few minutes to finish typing and post--I see a 4-minute difference between what I said and TR's server timestamp.

I discovered in the Exchange Administration program that you need to set up a Server Monitor to synchronize the tracking log time with the servers time.
