Content Ratings Dates/Times in MMC Use Time Zone of Client

This article was previously published under Q232073
We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 7.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2008. IIS 7.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS

When you use the IIS snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to makes changes to the Content Ratings expiration date on a remote server, the values saved to the metabase use the time zone of the client and not the server.

CAUSE

This is by design. The IIS snap-in for the MMC is designed to use the time zone of the client computer that the Web administrator is using and not the server when making changes. This allows a Web administrator located in one part of a WAN to set ratings to expire based on the Web administrator's location instead of the server's location.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0
  • Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
