Hi All

Everytime an email sent when a task has been sent out by email, the date comes in US date format.

Yet the server is configured for GMT region, etc .. And everything within MOSS 2007 is running with the normal dd/mm/yy format.

Any ideas

Anyone got any ideas about this ?

configure the process identity which is running the WSS Timer Service to use UK regional settings.

Hi there,

I am experiencing the same issue & am wondering if I can get some follow-up information. When I looked into the problem, I checked the workflow class itself using Reflector to see if I could get a better idea of what it was doing under the hood, and it appeared to be keying the date format off the SPWeb.Language property. This seems to be LCID 1033 (en-us) and I couldn't find a language pack for any other English language.

I'm at the desperate end of my rope. Would you be able to explain more about setting the region for the service account running the timer service? We currently have it set up as a domain account. Are you talking about regional settings in AD?

Thanks in advance,

Andrea James

Hi there - we are also having a similar problem - the regional settings imply that the date format should be dd-mm-yy but I've set up a list and the date that people have to input is mm-dd-yy - US style.  I can't see how to change this - does anyone have any useful input?

Thanks

AHA! we seem to have got around this and it's quite simple - one would assume that if you go to the parent site and se tthe regional settings that this would reflect across all "child" sites, even if they are at the same top bar level (as they all inherit permissions from the parent).  This is not so - if you go into the sub sites and check the settings, they were still set to US.  Change to UK and VOILA! it works.

Even though we have all sites set to UK we are still seeing the tasks on the server created with US date. This seems to be causing a problem with overdue dates for tasks. Can anyone else give some idea as to how you get around this problem?

Thanks

Hi

I am experiencing the same problems as reported in this post. All regional settings at the portal and site levels are UK. Document library views with date columns show UK as do task due dates etc... It's only in the email notifications for workflow generated tasks that the date is in US format.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I'm pulling my hair out (which is tough when you haven't got any).

Cheers

Alex

same here - even set the CA Regional Settings by reference to this blog...

Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hi Alex,

Did you find a solution to this issue?

Thanks,

Sujit.

Hi all,

I've got a call in with MS on another issue, so will raise this with them later today. I've just put SP1 on my Dev server, so will test it there first, and update you all.

Mike

Thanks Mike!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sujit.

Hello Guys!

Sorry for being such a nuisance... but any updates on this issue?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there any further updates on this?  Did Microsoft come up with an answer?

TIA,

Andy
