Schedule a meeting in a different time-zone
Hello,
I'd like to schudule a meeting with few peaple in different time zones base on a different time zone then my own. The intent is that no matter of daylight-time-zone (and specially when they start/end), the meeting will be "alligned" to one specific time-zone (different than mine). Is this possible?
Thanks.

Hello,
My scenario is a bit different.
Suppose I'm in NY but want to scheule the meeting to be at 16:00 UK. Now UK and US move to/from daylight-saving-time in different dates. So altough I'm in NY I'd like the schedule to be 16:00 UK and stay at this time altough US is no longer in daylight-saving-time but UK is.
Thanks.

I-logix,
There's an option to display a second time zone on the calendar. That's under Tools->Options->Calendar Options->Time Zone. You could also set your computer and Outlook to be on UK time. I don't follow the issue of the US and UK moving to/from daylight savings time at different times. What does that have to do with scheduling? Assuming that the time and time zone are set correctly on your compter, then showing the additional time zone as I described above will show the correct time in the UK without regard to whether we or they are/are not in daylight savings time.

Hi,
Suppose that I'm in NY and in daylight-saving-time. I want to schedule a meeting which will take place UK time 15:00 in a month. I'm sending the invitation with 10:00 AM as I'm the one who schedules the meeting and currently NY - UK is 5 hours. But when my UK peer gets the schedule its out look places it an hour shift from UK (14:00 or 16:00 - this always confuses me) because in a month from now NY will still be in daylight-saving-time, but UK won't.
So how can I schedule a meeting which will take a place a month from now and have this meeting take place in other time-zone (and other rules for daylight-saving-time) thne my timezone?
Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by "aligned". Outlook automatically adjusts for attendees in different time zones. If I'm in New York and create a meeting request for 10:00am that includes someone in Los Angeles, the appointment will appear on my calendar for 10:00 and on the calendar of the person in Los Angeles at 7:00am. Of course for this to work all parties have to have their time and time zones set correctly, as well as the adjust for daylight savings time setting.
Cheers!
