Users on same Exchange server but in different time zones.

Hello,

We have one MS Exchange Server that is used for users in Alabama and Georgia. The Exchange Server is located in Alabama (Central Time Zone). When a user creates a calendar appointment in MS Outlook for users in both Alabama and Georgia the time is incorrect for the Geogia users. For example: If we setup a calendar appointment for a conference call at 11:00 Central Time including both AL and GA users then, both AL and GA users see that there is a meeting at 11:00 but it doesn't adjust for the Eastern Time Zone for the GA user. Is there a solution for this? Is there a way we can assign time zones for each mailbox?

Both MS Exchange and MS Outlook use GMT time. So without any man...

Both MS Exchange and MS Outlook use GMT time. So without any manual intervention, Outlook displays the time in the local
timezone automatically. If someone in Atlanta has an 9 AM EDT meeting with someone in Alabama and both have
that meeting on their Outlook Calendars, the meeting time will reflect as 8AM CDT on the Alabama person's Calendar.

I'm not seeing of any settings on the Exchange end to change the timezone settings within Exchange itself, neverthless you can change the Exchange server's operating systems timezone.

Did you verify the time zones in these users machines are correct to the local time?

Thank Xchangeguy! This cleared up a few things for me and helped me understand how it works. I don't think that there was an error with the system, it was more of a usertraining issue. Thanks again and I really appreciate your help.
