One hour shift of recurring meetings sent as invite to shared mailbox

Apps & App Center
#1

Hi guys,

we are running Kopano on UCS, clients are using mostly Outlook. When setting an all-day reccuring appointment in Outlook and sending an invite to a shared (non-active) mailbox, which accepts meetings automatically, the appointment is set to one hour later in the shared calender. In the sender’s calender the time is correct (0 o’clock to 0 o’clock), but the shared mailbox spans the meeting to two days (1am to 1 am, caused by the 1 hour shift).
This behavior is not observed when this invite is done through Kopano Webapp.
I could replicate the shift on 2 Kopano servers with Outlook at the other end.
I also read somewhere, that it could have something to do with Nextcloud, but on one of the mentioned servers there is a NC installation, on the other one there is none.
I also read about setting timezone in Outlook, but how to set it for a shared calendar??
Any help would be appreciated, I have no idea what to search for and it is driving me nuts :wink:
Kind regards
KaBi

Hi @KaBi,

can you share some version information about your setup (commands are explained in https://wiki.z-hub.io/display/K4U/Debugging+Kopano+on+Univention)?

The Outlook client is using ActiveSync to connect and send? What is you actual timezone? Is the UCS system using the same timezone your users are using?

PS: If you have a subscription it could be worth reaching out to our support so they can have a direct look at your system.

Hi @fbartels,

thanks for your response.

Outlook uses ActiveSync, our timezone is Europe/Berlin, Server timezone:

cat /etc/timezone
Europe/Berlin

In the webapp/config.php I found Europe/London and changed it to Erope/Berlin, but this did not have any effect on the time shift.

if(!ini_get('date.timezone')) {
                date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');
        }

This is then just using Europe/London if no value is set for the timezone in php afaik.

Yes, please do so.
