Environment

Novell GroupWise 7.0 Support Pack 3
Novell GroupWise WebAccess

Situation

When logged into GroupWise WebAccess, the Time Zone displayed at the top of the page is incorrect.
Changing Time Zone setting in GroupWise WebAccess client (under Options > Time Zone tab) does not save the correct time zone.

Resolution

The problem is caused because of a version mismatch between the WebAccess Application and the WebAccess Agent. Because of changes to the timezone tables in GroupWise 7.0 Support Pack 3, both the Application and Agent need to be updated at the same time. If one or the other is left at an earlier version, the time zone will not display correctly.

To resolve the issue, verify the version information for your WebAccess Application and Agent and then update the older component to version 7.0.3.

NOTE: To check your version information for the WebAccess Application, login to WebAccess and click on "Novell® GroupWise® WebAccess" in the top left-hand corner (above the Mailbox & Calendar tabs)
