    I am currently working with MSCRM 2011 Online through advance developer extension early bind. I am aware that my input datetime is stored in MSCRM 2011 Online in UTC format however I am not sure how MSCRM determine user time zone. Is it through browser setting or it is preconfigured the moment the class file is generated with crmsvcutil.exe?

    Hi,

    The user's time zone is set within personal options within CRM. For the web client, click 'File > Options' you will see the 'Set the time zone you are in.

    For the Outlook client, click File > CRM > Set personal options.

    Hi,

    You can retrieve the User Time Zone (timezonecode attribute value) settings programatically by Retrieving usersettings entity via systemuserid (User Record GUID) attribute using CRM Webservice CrmWebservice.RetrieveMultiple() method.
