I¹m having a dickens of a time with Exchange and Entourage (and a little bit
with iCal/sync services).

When I look at my Exchange server, I see that it is set at at GMT-7:00. BUT
. . .

I live in Denver, which is the same time zone DURING STANDARD TIME as
Phoenix, AZ. And, as you probably know, AZ doesn¹t pay attention to
Daylight Savings Time. Hence, the problem . . .

So, what I want to know is: Is there a way to globally change ALL of the
events/entries I have in Entourage to be: ³US-Mountain Time-Denver². This
IS one of the options for Macs in the Date/Time preferences. Some may
already be set that way, but many others list ³Phoenix² as the default.

Thanks!

Gary

Hi Gary!

You can do this with a script. I'm providing a very basic script that
will work provided you have just one Exchange account and one calendar
in that Exchange account. Be very sure that you want to change all
events to the same time zone. I have not tested how this will affect
synchronization with iCal or PDAs.

Paste the following lines into the Script Editor application found in
/Applications/AppleScript:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"

-- Eastern = 4
-- Central = 3
-- Mountain = 2
-- Pacific = 1

set theCalendar to calendar 1 of Exchange account 1

-- in this line change the number to the appropriate time zone
set time zone of every event of theCalendar to 3
end tell

In the next to the last line, change the number "3" to "2" for Mountain
time.

Hope this helps!
