Thanks all for your continued feedback.
Since there have been multiple issues with time zones, and different people are coming to this thread (and other related ones) at different times, let me try to summarize in one post.
- Issue: Meetings created or modified on mobile device show "Chetumal" time zone in Outlook for Mac 2016.
Solution: Update to 15.11.2.
Note:
The update won't fix existing meetings that already exhibit the problem. To correct existing meetings, please do the following:
- Go to calendar view
- In the left folder pane, right click on your calendar folder (typically your account name or "Calendar" one level below)
- Select "Properties" -> "General"
- Click "Empty Cache"
- Your calendar will clear, and your meetings will be downloaded again from the Exchange server.
- Issue: Meetings created or modified on mobile device show "UTC" or "Monrovia" time zone in Outlook for Mac 2016.
Solution: If you are using Exchange Online (O365), this should already be fixed and no action is required from you. If you are using Exchange on-premise (i.e., Exchange is not hosted by Microsoft), your administrator will need to install the server fix
when the next Cumulative Update comes out. I do not have a date for that release, but it should be included in the next regular Microsoft Exchange Server updates.
Note:
The server fix will not correct existing meetings with "UTC/Monrovia." The organizer will have to send out an updated meeting request once the server fix is in place. The easiest way for the organizer to do this is to open the meeting
on his/her calendar and send an update to attendees.
- Issue: All-day events are a day off in Outlook for Mac 2016.
Solution: This is a side effect of issues 1 and/or 2. This should be resolved if you have both of the fixes for 1 and 2 above. However, please read the notes since existing shifted events may not be fixed automatically.
For issues on reminders or non-time zone-related issues, please start a new thread elsewhere so we can keep this thread focused on time zone issues.
If you have updated to 15.11.2 AND you are on O365/Exchange Online AND you are still seeing time zone problems with NEW meetings, please post here, and we will troubleshoot. The time zone code was overhauled for Outlook for Mac 2016, and we are working diligently
to stamp out all bugs as quickly as possible.
