Outlook Office Diary Bug

[yes2work]

My company runs its own Mail Server (Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server) which
serves a domain (Windows 2000 on the Domain Controller) which has mixture of
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and Windows XP Service Pack 2 clients running on
it.

All client machines within the domain are installed with full installations
of Office XP. However when diary events are entered into the Outlook office
diary they appear differently between the XP and 2000 machines i.e. the times
and dates of some events within the diary are different when view on our XP
machines to when the same event is viewed on our 2000 machines.

As you’ll appreciate this causes a great deal of confusion with people not
knowing who is where and on what day.

The errors only appear on our XP machines and only seem to affect all-day
events (ones with the all day event box ticked) or those events which span
across multiple days. Oddly enough, when you double click on one of the
incorrect events to display the full information the time of the event is
always set to 23:00 hours for both start and finish time.

Any assistance you could give us would be gratefully received as the problem
is causing us a great deal of headaches at the moment.

Kind Regards

The symptoms suggest that the machines have different time zone+daylight savings settings.
