How to Change the Time Zone for a Unified Messaging Auto Attendant
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
Applies to: Exchange Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP2, Exchange Server 2007 SP3
This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to change the time zone that is configured on a Unified Messaging (UM) auto attendant. By default, the UM auto attendant uses the time zone of the UM server on which it is created. However, there are situations where you may have to change the time zone for a UM auto attendant to a different time zone. For example, if you have two UM dial plans that are hosted on the same Unified Messaging server and each dial plan represents a different time zone, you must configure one auto attendant to have the same time zone as the Unified Messaging server and the other auto attendant to have a time zone that differs from the Unified Messaging server.
