Why are my subscribed icalendars in outlook an hour earlier than they appear
in my google calendars?

I've checked my google acct is set for central time, my windows is set for
central time, my computer bios is set for central time, my
outlook-calendar_option-time_zone = central time.

what is the daylight savings time setting?

I've never known which is which, are we in daylight savings time, or do we
switch to it in the fall?

Appreciated it.

It depends on which hemisphere you reside in.

summer time is savings time.

if you have the systems set to automatically use dst and if you are in the
correct time zone, the adjustment is made automatically.

I was wrong, this did not work. When I use the time-zone setting in Outlook
calendar options to adjust for daylight savings time, the appts appear
correct in the outlook calendar, but it keeps adjusting my system time
forward. No matter how much I reset the system time, it always goes back to
the wrong time. Why would Outlook second-guess and adjust my system
settings? Keep in mind that everything in my system (BIOS, Windows,
google-calendar) are correctly set to US central time. How do I get it to
stop? An application shouldn't have permissions to do this.
Thanks!

Outlook uses the system settings to display the appointment time. Outlook
uses GMT + the offset to determine the correct appointment time. If the
appointments were created in a different time zone then Outlook will adjust
the time for the current zone. i.e., if created in central time for 9 am,
outlook places them at 10 am if the computer is set for the eastern time
zone.

See http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2008/20080310.htm for how to fix.

I think I found the problem, and it is impossible to fix without the system
admin. The time is wrong on the domain server, and when "adjust for daylight
saving time" is selected, it synchronizes with the server clock. The only
way I can make my time correct is to be independent of the domain server, but
then my outlook iCalendars are wrong. So this is a more difficult issue than
I was expecting. Is there any way to "adjust for daylight savings time"
without synchronizing time with the domain-server?

You can disable the time sync. What OS? Note that the admin may prefer you
tell him so the server can be fixed.

That's done now. We'll see what happens next time I reboot.

Thanks for all your attention!
