SYMPTOMS
When Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) client computer time zone settings do not match the time zone properties on the local computer, you may receive the following message:

Please use the Options shortcut to set your current local time zone.

This message is also displayed if the OWA client and the local computer are set to two different time zones with the same GMT - :00 offset setting. For example, if you have your local computer time zone set to Central time and you have the OWA client set to Mexico City, the message will appear.



CAUSE
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 cannot differentiate between time zone offsets.



RESOLUTION
If you are working with two different time zones that use the same Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time) offset, upgrade your Internet Explorer browser to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.

To modify the time zone setting in the OWA client, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start the OWA client.
 * 2) In the OWA Navigation pane, click Options.
 * 3) In the Current Time Zone list, verify that the selected time zone matches the local computer time. If it does not match the local computer time, click the correct time zone.
 * 4) Click Save or Save and Close.
