    When exporting lync 2010 arhived IM messages from the powershell and then viewing the messages the timestamps in the message is GMT and not the local time GMT+2. If this is by design to save in GMT can someone provide some links to a Microsoft article confirming this please or if there is a way to make sure it gets saved in your preferred timezone can you provide with instructions please.

    Thanks

    Hi Kent

    I've seen those links as well. It is fine to say it is by design, but I've not seen any document or article that states that.

    Will it be fair to say that you will need a 3rd party application or get a SQL DBA to generate a report and ammend the time on the report to reflect the correct local time for the IM messages?

    Unfortunately the customer won't accept a response that it is by design, but I need some proof.

    I've also not seen any settings to change it, so for me I will/can accept that.

    Regards

    The times are not in GMT but in UTC (not the same)

    Belgium is GMT +1 and UTC +2 in summertime , UTC +1 wintertime.

    Microsoft used the UTC for several reasons : no issue with the time when there is a time change (daylight saving time )  People from everywhere(NY, Brussels, Songapore)  can use the traces because they use the same time reference.

    Hi,

    It did not explicitly state if this is by design. But I agree with FRANCOIS, it will be more convenient to manage if we use a constant time zone.
