This is almost always a function of the Regional Settings on the computer running the MMC. So, I'd say, start with Control Panel | Regional and Language Options | Standards and formats and change it from English (United States) to English (Australia) -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....

Re: Date and time format in reports johbot 6/5/2007 10:19:02 PM Lawrence, Thank you for your reply. I am aware that the Control Panel usually controls such matters and this was the first place that I checked. The settings via control panel are what I want them to be and all other programs that present a time and date do in the Australian manner. johbot "Lawrence Garvin (MVP)" wrote: [Quoted Text] > > > "johbot" <johbot[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:192725DF-884A-48B4-B0F2-C33A0788F21B[ at ]microsoft.com... > >I have migrated from WSUS 2.0 to 3.0 and am happy with the result excpet > >for > > the date format in the reports. > > They are US date formats (MMDDYY) and I would like AUS formats (DDMMYY). > > Where do I set the preferred format? > > This is almost always a function of the Regional Settings on the computer > running the MMC. > > So, I'd say, start with Control Panel | Regional and Language Options | > Standards and formats > > and change it from English (United States) to English (Australia) > > -- > Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP > Independent WSUS Evangelist > MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) > https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E > > Everything you need for WSUS is at > http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx > > And, almost everything else is at > http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com > ..... > > >

Re: Date and time format in reports johbot 6/5/2007 11:22:01 PM Lawrence, Thank you for your response. I wish it was that easy. My regional sttings are what I need for every other program.

Re: Date and time format in reports "Matthew Wetmore \(MSFT\)" <mattwe[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 6/6/2007 5:29:37 PM The reports should be following your date and time format that the rest of the system does. Can you provide a screenshot of your control panel settings and a section of the UI that shows the incorrect format? I've verified on my system that the report options summary follow the English (Australia) short (dd-mm-yy) date format, and that the preview pane for updates show the long form of the date. Note that once you export to PDF or Excel, the format is set for the exported report. -- Matthew Wetmore Developer, WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) This posting is provided "As Is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Re: Date and time format in reports "Matthew Wetmore \(MSFT\)" <mattwe[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 6/15/2007 6:41:20 PM Working with one of our testers, we have verified that the Deadline in the approval section of an Updates reports is not following the correct date time format. We'll file a bug and follow up it up for possible inclusion in a future release. The report options summary at the end of the report is correct.
