Drake,

GMT = UTC

They are the same.  GMT DOES NOT obey daylight savings time.  It is the same as 
UTC.

IST or BST or CEST (if in Antarctica) or a handful of other options are all 
used for when you want daylight Savings Time offsets.

So, you should be able to put GMT and get the desired result.   (I actually 
thought you could put UTC as well, but checking some searches on the web I see 
that it seems that GMT is the successor to UTC so that term has replaced UTC in 
most libraries of timezones.)

Have you tried using GMT and are getting offsets due to daylight savings time?  
 If so, please report this as it should not be happening.

I hope this helps,

Doug Mueller

Subject: Time Zone for UTC

**
I have users that would like to have dates shown in Coordinated Universal Time 
- UTC.
In other words, not just GMT+0, but also no Daylight Saving Time adjustment.

But I cannot seem to find a time zone setting (in the 'AR System User 
Preference' form, 'time zone' field) to do this.
I submitted a ticket to BMC, and got a call back telling me that there is no 
way to do that.

Really?  Is there really NO WAY to display Date/Time fields in UTC?!?


Thanks-
