Default Timezone issues

Hey Guys,

We are currently evaluating Zimbra installed on CentOS5 and clients running Outlook2007 on XP and iCal on MacOS10.5.2.

If I create an appointment in either Outlook2007 or via the web interface the appointment time within iCal is incorrect. We currently have all timezones set to GMT+10 Brisbane/Australia and it appears iCal adds the +10 to the appointment (appointment for 10am-11am 15/03/2008 set in either webui or Outlook both can see it with the correct time however using iCal it shows as 8pm-9pm 15/03/2008).

I have set GMT+10 within Outlook Calendar/XP/ZimbraAdmin/iCal/MacOS and there doesn't appear to be a work around for this. I have also set the preferences of iCal with and without timezone support but this makes no difference.

Please let me know if you require further info to this problem.

Shan

Have you turned on timezone support in iCal?

Thanks,

Scott

hrmm, nevermind

Using the Zimbra connector for iSync, I've put the radio button in selected under Calendars rather than Caldav and this seems to have solved this.

This issue seems to have risen its ugly head again since upgrading to 5.0.6/7 as the ability to change synchronisation from Caldav to iSync has since been removed.

Using iCal Version 3.0.4 (1263)
Zimbra Connector Version 5.0.2420

[zimbra@hostname root]$ zmprov gac -v |grep zimbraPrefTimeZoneId
zimbraPrefTimeZoneId: (GMT+10.00) Brisbane

Any assistance greatly appreciated!
