Server and Client Time Zone Settings

Posted on by Stephen Stark

We recently moved our primary Dynamics GP 2018 database from an on site virtual machine to a virtual machine running in the Azure cloud. Simultaneously, we also setup the web client services as our primary user interface. The server and clients on our local network are all set to EST, however the virtual machines running in Azure prefer to use UTC. Will this create a problem for us, given that we moved a database that had been running on a server using EST, and are now running on UTC?

Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

Dynamics GP/Web Client will pull from the time zone the machine is using, that the applications are installed onto.

If they are installed on an Azure VM using UTC time, that should be fine as GP users often use different time zones and it doesn't affect much if anything, because Dynamics GP doesn't really use time zones for anything.

Thanks
