Ical can´t save the event "event name" to the exchange server

I have been trying to set up iCal to work with exchange in several Macs runnig Snow Leopard but there seems to be some time zone issue.



When I try to save a new event, I get a error: iCal can't save the event "event name" to the exchange server. The account "account name" currently can't be modified, to discard... If I change the city in time zone preferences to anything outside Mexico (for example Dallas Tx.) then everything works perfect, the problem is all of my users are in Mexico City aund using CST instead may cause other problems.


I have tried with time zone support enabled and also disabled.


Something very odd is that existing events can be modified or deleted, even with the city set to Mexico in time zone preferences.



¿Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hey guys, same problem here. For what I saw the problem resides in how the CDT for Mexico was implemented in Mac OSX and in Windor. Apparently the info going into the Exchange server sends the data for the Mexico CDT with a code that Exchange does not recognize as with other time zones. Therefore there's no way to workaround this. The only solution is to use another time zone, but beware of the DST time changes. Apple or Microchot should be fixing this on either side in order to have it working....


For now I wish us good luck...
