Let me guess. you have a site with windows machines, company policy was oddly to stay at wintertime instead of fixing the time zone, and you are left with having to set your linux machine to GMT+2 to conform. have I got it right? I have the same problem here. the only machine in this entire company running Linux (and thus has correct TZ files) is my laptop. all the machines should be synched to the exchange server hich unsurprisingly is NOT in synch with global NTP. I can't set the time on this machine and conform with my home network and the work network at the same time, but none of the people I'll talk to here understands what I'm talking about. very frustrating! I have a dual-booting linux laptop and thus I am forced to set my linux to GMT+2. and Microsoft's answer? they will not fix the timezone files, but outlook will start recording time via MAPI with timezone NAME (i.e. Asia/Jerusalem) rather than in GMT and so circumvent the OS's shortcomings, and meetings will finally be correct across timezones. Sick. and twisted.
