--------------------------------------------------
Hi Joel,
Let's be clear.
If the picture in your example has been taken on November 8th 14:42:05 in
Australia, it's Generalized Time value *can't* be 20121108144205Z.
It's not as simple as appending a 'Z' at the end of the time string. By doing
so, it is locating this time in the UTC (GMT+0) timezone.
The whole point of the decorated (friendly) value is to help the user deal with
timezones conversion. That's why we get the timezone used on the local machine
and convert the time to something relative to that.
Can you confirm that the software you're using to insert the date in the
directory server is actually taking the current time in the Australian timezone
(using "DateTime.Now()" as you indicated) and appending a "Z" at the end of
this value?
If this is the case, the date isn't correct anymore unfortunately?

> We have a piece of photocapture software that takes a photo and adds it to
> our eDirectory tree along with the date the photo was taken. The format it
> uses to store the date in is the following: 20121108144205Z
> (yyyyddmmhhmm??Z). Apache takes this date and converts it to a more user
> friendly version but this date is off by +11 hours as below.
> 9/11/2012 1:42:05 (20121108144205Z)
