Problems with the time in RDC

External Since: Jul 14, 2005 Posts: 3

I use RDC to connect from my Powerbook 12" into my office's Windows
network. All is good apart from the time. When I open RDC and then open
my Outlook, the time always reads wrong - 1 hour early. I go into
Control Panel > Date & Time to change the time to my time zone (GMT
London with Daylight Saving) and it's fine. But if I logout of RDC and
login again, the time has gone back to GMT liberia, without the
Daylight Saving. It's an annoying bug and I have to fix it manually
every time I open RDC. Anyone know of a fix. PS I use Entourage on my
Mac.

If you're connecting to a Windows Terminal server then the group policy
you're looking for is disabled by default and needs to be enabled.

Have a look at this page on Microsoft's site for more information

Hope this helps! bill
