Calendar event showing up the wrong timezone

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.)

    I can confirm that in Outlook 15.11.2 - the Chetumal problem is not fixed.  I've had to revert my user to a previous version.

    I have removed the preview and reinstall the final release of Office for the Mac 2016. The timezone problem is gone now and everything is working great.

    Tom,

    so the time zone issue is gone for me now, but now I am seeing something else new :) If I create a new appointment/event on my iOS device, it assigns a 15 minute reminder to it in Outlook, even though when I look at the appointment on the iOS device there is definitely no reminder/alert set. Anyone else confirm this behavior? This feels like whack a mole :)

    I have updated to the final release of Office for the Mac 2016, which is version 15.11.2 (150701), but I still have timezone issues with all day events like this one:

    The event displays a day early and the details show a wrong timezone and both "all day event" ticket as well as a time (22:00). It shows fine on other devices:

    And it did show fine using the old (before pre-release) Outlook version, but the 2016 installer cleared all other Outlook versions from my device, so that's not an option anymore.
