All,

We're running 2 primary Remedy systems - a homegrown incident application
(ARS 7.0.1), and a virtually vanilla change management system (running on
7.5), both on Solaris/Oracle.  Both systems are defined as remaining in GMT
year round, to keep them aligned with other business applications.  All
clients are 7.5 patch 004, running on XP sp3, in a "ThinApp" environment
(apparently makes any client changes considerably easier)

Problem #1 - some PCs are showing times in BST - not GMT.  Only some.  All
running what should be exactly the same client - so two people, opening the
same incident or change - can see a time difference of an hour.  We've
reinstalled clients to no avail, potential queries of it being a domain
issue (we've got two distinct AD domains, apparently no problems on one,
problems on the other).  Head scratching is all we seem to have left.

Problem #2 - a push fields, taking a date/time field and pushing into a
text field (ie. a diary - this change due at <date/time> was completed by
<whoever>) is pushing through the date/time as text with BST applied.
Exactly the same behaviour in a simple test form has been witnessed on 7.5,
7.0.1 and a test 7.6.4 server.  Looks like a possible issue with the server
side date handling ignoring the server being configured for year-round
running in GMT.

Any suggestions?  Think we have some increasingly irate users, and we're
getting nowhere!

Regards

Dave
