Time Zone Problems for Users

Asked By: Carlton Sandoval Date: May 23, 2009 Category: Sharepoint Views: 1092

Does anyone know if there is a way to have the time zone on a site be
set specific to each user. For instance if people from different time
zones look at a Sharepoint calendar they see the correct times for
them and not what the site time zone is set to.

I know each user can manually change this in their regional settings.
I am just hoping there is an more automatic way of doing this.

Sites can only use one time zone. However, users can link the
SharePoint calendar to Outlook, and Outlook will display time correctly
in different time zones.

Under My Settings - My Regional Settings
and unchecking Always Follow Web Settings each user can specify
their standard time zone.

What I would like to do is this be set automatically instead of
directing all our users to do this manually.

You can also set the time zone for a Web Application in Central Admin.
Any user using that web application will get that time zone setting.
Other than that the only solution would be to write a program that would
set the Time Zone for your users.
