Sounds like a good registry setting to apply via GPO (as you indicate further down in your original email). One option would be go link the policy at the site level, as long as these correspond to the correct time zones you need.

I want to set at my desktop eating bon bons and scan them and see if they've screwed up and the Secretaries will be booking appointments in the wrong time zones and the bosses will be getting mad (Bosses get the new computers.. Secretaries get the old ones that already have the time zone problem resolved) Basically I'm asking... what do you guys do in big server land to ensure that every stupid Outlook is booking appointments in the proper zone?
