Dave:

have you tried logging in with two different user ids from the same workstation 
that is experiencing the timezone issue,.to see if it is common to all users 
using that workstation? I have seem cases where a users 'arsystem user 
preferences' has caused similar issues, thinking that it is a workstation issue 
when, in fact, out was their user preference...

** 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!
