Comments on: Does your SharePoint alerts have the wrong time…? http://paulliebrand.com/2008/05/19/does-your-sharepoint-alerts-have-wrong-time/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=does-your-sharepoint-alerts-have-wrong-time Welcome to my blog mainly about SharePoint Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul Liebrand http://paulliebrand.com/2008/05/19/does-your-sharepoint-alerts-have-wrong-time/comment-page-3/#comment-380 Paul Liebrand Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:35:06 +0000 http://paulliebrand.com/?p=101#comment-380 Unfortunately WSS 3.0/SharePoint 2007 is plagued with timezone issues and it does not look any of them are going to be resolved anytime soon. I do not believe you are doing anything wrong. The only thing I can suggest you do is open a support ticket with Microsoft. the more people complain about this the more likely they would be to attempt to get it resolved.

We use SP 2007 with Office 2007. We have an out-of-the-office workflow set up in SP where a request for vacation time generates an email for approval. Our office is in Houston, on CST. Any request, all day or partial day, generates an alert that reflects a time (Modified) that is 2 hours behind actual CST. (ie. a change made at 1PM shows up as "Modified" at 11am). This is what is seen on the alert email received in Outlook 2007.<br><br>Second, we recently tried merging calendars, where you take the calendar in SP, Connect to Outlook (from the SP calendar), then read the calendar in Outlook. This way we can take our OOTO calendar and superimpose it on our Outlook calendar to have an easy reference for who is not in the office that week. The problem cropping up is the partial day folks are showing up 2 hours off! An employee signs up for a doctors appt from 4pm to 6pm, and it shows up on the calender in outlook as being from 6pm to 8pm, yet it is correct in the SP calendar. The employee who submitted the request generated an alert in the process which kicked out an alert that showed the request was made 2 hours before the actual alert time.<br><br>I believe I am current on all product updates, yet this is not working correctly on my system with MOSS 2007 & Office 2007.

I believe I am current on all product updates, yet this is not working correctly on my system with MOSS 2007 & Office 2007. Any suggestions?

At my site, most users are using 2003, but a few are on 2007. On 2007, the all day events show correctly, but on 2003 they appear to spill over 2 days. If you open the item, it shows the time info as "From 12:00AM to 11:59PM (GMT) Casablanca, Monrovia, Reykjavik"<br><br>Hopefully this issue is resolved soon as we are in the middle or rolling this out company-wide, and this feature is going to be used quite often by our users.<br><br>Cheers!

Hopefully this issue is resolved soon as we are in the middle or rolling this out company-wide, and this feature is going to be used quite often by our users.

Cheers!

The values for these are set =[Start Time] and =[End Time], resp. Originally, I was getting the 7 hour differential, then it self resolved. Now, months later, the differential is back; I have added +0.2917 to each to adjust. Now I see that nearly all all-day-events agree with the native reference time fields; but some remain 1 hour off. Events with explicit times are now off by 7. Seems like I should back out my adjustment and pray for another self-correction. ???
