Calendar event showing up the wrong timezone

Anonymous

Hi there, I refer to the screenshots below. The user, Pamela, sends out a calendar invite to both Jeff and Kok Guan, specifying the correct timezone UTC +0800. However, what Jeff views this event on his Mac running on Yosemite 10.10.2 is the UTC +0000 timezone, Monrovia, Reykjavik. The time indicated is displayed 6am instead of the actual 2pm, despite showing a notification that the event will commence at 2pm on Jeff's Mac. How do i go about correcting/removing the UTC +0000, Monrovia, Reykjavik, timezone stamp. Appreciate some help with this. Thanks!

Regards

Kenny

Unfortunately, the server update won't fix existing meetings automatically. However, users MAY be able to fix it themselves if they find the original meeting invitation (could be in Deleted Items) and re-accept the meeting(s) with the "UTC" time zones. (Let us know if that works.)

If that doesn't work, they will have to ask the organizer to re-send the invitation. (Organizer just has to open the meeting on his/her calendar and click "Send Update." Make sure to "Edit Series" if it is a recurring meeting.)

Hi John,

That's disappointing. Upgrading our Exchange server to fix this issue isn't trivial or cheap. Seems like a good (albeit subversive) sales pitch for O365 to me.

Yes it is showing in the right time slot IIRC. I will have to tell the people being effected by it to ignore the UTC prompt.

What's more frustrating about this is that we have made it policy to only use Outlook on mobile devices in order to the avoid the calendar incompatibilities that keep cropping up between Apple and Exchange. Seems like it was a whole lot of effort for nothing now. =/

Cheers,

AC

I suggest you contact your Microsoft support channel and let them know you want the EAS time zone fix from Exchange 2013 backported to 2010. The more requests for this they get, the more likely they will migrate the change over. There are likely other customers who have the same need.

I noticed that I haven't written it anywhere, but I'm using the built in calendar app from Apple when I'm booking my meetings - and an other third party app called "Månaden". Perhaps that's the reason...?

Hi!

Yes, it's only the all-day events that are shown on the wrong day.

When I make an appointment for today, wednesday at 11:15 - 12:15, from the iPhone, it's shown at the correct day in Outlook calendar BUT I noticed one strange thing. If I open the event then it says that it's between 9:15 - 10:15 UTC Coordinate universal time, but then an alert is showing saying that "The event is taking place 11:15 in the timezone of the computer".
