Server Date and OS Date and Regional Settings and Registry and Going crazy!

Server - Windows 2008 r2Domino - 8.5.1

The regional settings were set to US. I changed them to Australian (which is same as UK style). Still getting US date format…

Read up in the forum and did RegEdit on HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International\iDate changed it from 0 to 1.

Everything then looked nice and non-US, but when the server does calculations on date it still assumes US date format. For example,

Month( CDat( “07/03/10” ) ) returns 07!

In the registry at the same location as above, I see the following:

LocaleName = en-US

sCountry = United States

sShortDate = M/d/yyyy

I am very tempted to change these manually, but this is only what I do see, what else is there that I don’t see?

I’ve google searched on |“Windows 2008 Server” AND date bug| and got nothing.

Two questions:

Firstly, does anyone have any clue on what I could try next?

Secondly, if I rebuild the server from scratch, OS and all, how do I maintain my SSL certificates and keep them still working without generating all the bits for my CA again?

I’m finding myself having to write loads of extra code to check the date, convert the date, check that it’s converted right and then cross fingers lots. It seems as though the server is 3/4 US date format and 1/4 Oz format.

Would greatly appreciate any help.

Subject: We are having the same problem…

Did you ever get a resolution for the non-US time formatting?Our Resource and Reservations database purge agents is deleting upcoming dates because of the “MM/DD/YYYY” format.

Any help would be appreciated!!!
