Confused by the GMT time stamp in the body of meeting requests?

by

Some of our customers have noticed that some of their users get meeting requests that are a bit confusing since the time stamp inside the body of the meeting request is in GMT time which is not normally recognized by users.  The date/time stamp in the meeting request itself is correct for their local time but when they see the GMT time stamp in the body they may be confused.

Who does this problem normally affect?

This problem usually only affects users of Outlook 2003.

What can you do about this problem?

The best thing you can do is upgrade to UniversitySite 7.5.3 and set time zones for all your existing users.  If you have specified time zones for your users then UniversitySite 7.5.3 will send meeting requests in local time so that there will be no GMT stamp even for users of Outlook 2003.

    It sure would be nice to automate this function based on the user’s location in Outlook … having to edit each indivdual is a heinous waste of time! Isn’t there some script we could run to do this?
