Exchange EWS / Display Monkey Outlook Timezone? Issue #147

Hi -- I've got my Display Monkey connected to an Office 365 calendar. But something is going on with the 'math' of the room time/date.

For example, right now there is a meeting in the room from 8 AM to 9 PM on the calendar. On the DM Outlook view it shows that the meeting is in progress (Correct) and that it is from 8 am to 9 pm (Correct) but it ends in 2 hrs 24 minutes (Not correct as it is 9:42 am). It seems to think I'm in GMT +2 when I should be in GMT -8.

I was also struggling yesterday with a meeting not showing up which I suspected had to do with date format or something. I don't remember the exact details but it was like i made a meeting 30 minutes out and there was an all day meeting starting at midnight that night. I couldn't get it to show the meeting during the day but it would show the midnight meeting. If I moved the all day meeting out another day it showed there were no meetings that day -- something about the one meeting just wasn't being seen?

Is there a stetting I'm missing? I'm in Pacific Time in the US.

Figured it out. It isn't a global setting but it is the use of the location setting in each display.

Which makes perfect sense.
