Will changing global time zone in VSTS impact existing tasks, or it is a display option only? Have a customer that is considering to change this, but is concerned whether it can impact existing projects.
There are two different time zones in VSTS
VSTS account TimeZone
VSTS user profile TimeZone
VSTS Account TZ
In the Question, you are mentioning about the VSTS Account TimeZone. This is the main TimeZone settings, where all your iteration dates, build/release schedule depends upon and etc.,.So by changing this will affect the dependencies.
VSTS user profile TZ
This is the one which you need that it's only for UI showing.VSTS user profile time zone setting is used to make the user experience more personal to the user and display the VSTS timestamps for when a user browsing VSTS using time zone configured for that specific user.
So, if my VSTS account time zone is set to EST, but my user profile time zone setting is set to PST, then when I'm browsing the VSTS all date/time fields will be displayed in PST time zone.
VSTS user profile time zone setting can be configured on user profile page (https://app.vsaex.visualstudio.com/me?mkt=en-US&campaign=o~msft~vsts~usercard), by clicking your name on the top-right corner of your VSTS page, then clicking on My Profile | Edit profile | Preferences option. Set your user time zone setting and click Save.

Is there a way to change the first day of the week in the JetBrains YouTrack Cloud software? Right now week starts from Sunday, which affects all calendars in all widgets in YT. I want to change the first day of the week to Monday.
You can change it for a single user. Would like to change it as default for all newly created users. But don't know about that yet.
Changing it for a user go to your profile or as admin Access Management -> Users and click a user name.
In the General tab near the bottom you can set the First Day of Week for this user.

When updating mailbox timezone in Exchange Online with Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration, the timezone changes correctly but checking the mailbox through the OWA gui reveals that meeting hours have not changed to match, requiring a manual step by the user.
Message reads:
The current zone for your meeting hours is [timezone]
and is asking if the user is going to remain in the new timezone and to change the meeting hours to match.
Is it possible to set the meeting hours via Powershell?
If anyone comes across this, we ended up using the Graph API to amend this
Looks like there is a bit of inconsistency between 2 ways calendar RECURRING events could be created using the TIME ZONE:
'quickAdd' - does not require you to provide a timezone. The Calendar's default (UTC) or the one set by the Calendar owner will be used. Fair enough.
'insert' - the API doc states: "For recurring events this field is required and specifies the time zone in which the recurrence is expanded. For single events this field is optional and indicates a custom time zone for the event start/end."
Why for 'insert'-ing recurring events we cannot use use the time zone the Calendar already have?
The 'quickAdd' api endpoint clearly shows that it is possible!
For example, if you call the quickAdd with the following text (Important meeting at Office at 11am-11:25am every Fri with John) recurring events will be created with the time zone that already set in the Calendar!
Sure thing that I could get the Calendar time zone from the settings (/calendar/v3/users/me/settings/timezone). But this will require one extra call. It will cause more latency and bring more complexity to the code.
Another issue. The quickAdd api call for recurring events creates not only recurring events but also the same event on the day when the call been made! The API doc does not provide any explanation what are the correct values for the text attribute.
Would be great to hear back from Google API team to clarify those things.
Thank you.
I've some workflows in CRM but they work for the owner, also tried to use sharing them between users but with no result.
How to configure workflows to work for everyone (every organization, user team etc.) by default?
Sultan
In the workflow editing screen, there's a field called Scope where you can set it to either User or Organization. Setting it to Organization will make the workflow run for every user regardless of their business unit, team, etc.
