How users can change their time zone in OWA
Or as screenshot: 
You know: You just have to know what to look for – considerably easier than knowing *when* to look for pretty much anything once you have been put in the wrong time zone… 
Setting time zone for all and for all misconfigured OWA users
live@edu/Office365 Exchange in the cloud does not seem to allow setting a default time zone, but rather leaves it to the user to change the time zone (defaulting to the time zone the cloud server is in that the user happens to hit) on first login – in the world I operate in, большая ошибка!
How to use the cmdlet set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration with parameter TimeZone to change the time zone of all your mailboxes is nicely explained on the blog How Exchange Works here, including screenshot and PowerShell command.
Unfortunately such an operation is reported to have needed 3 days for updating all mailboxes in an educational live@edu installation with 30000 users… You can restrict the mailboxes touched by examining first which are not in your local time zone (consult the MS TimeZone table for syntax, e.g. US “Eastern Standard Time”):
$mymailboxes = get-mailbox
ForEach ($examinedmailbox in $mymailboxes){
$regionalconfig = get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration –identity $examinedmailbox.identity
if ($regionalconfig.timezone -ne “Eastern Standard Time”){
Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -identity $examinedmailbox.identity -TimeZone “Eastern Standard Time” -confirm:$false
}
}

LRC Calendars setup, documentation and training
I have written dozens of posts on the MS-Exchange/Outlook/OWA/Ninermail calendaring system that I set up for room reservation, equipment circulation, and staff timetabling in the LRC, the most recent 50 of which you also can view here – which should display like below in Firefox feed display. If you use Internet Explorer which has a nicer RSS feed display, you get to a list of articles where you cannot only browse, but search within the search results:

LRC Outlook/Exchange 2010 Resource Calendaring: How to alter meeting times in OWA
- Changed your mind/requirements about a meeting time you made?
- Go to your NINERMAIL Calendar, open the meeting, alter the times from the dropdowns (use the “scheduling assistant” to check for conflicts of the new time), click “Send update”
How to access most important LRC calendars from quick links on LRC home page
- Go to http://lrc.uncc.edu
- access like so:
- The default calendar view in OWA is monthly:
- From the top menu icons, you can easily change to weekly and daily views:
- The calendars are edited directly by the service-providing party, to stay up to date with the frequent changes in tutor availability (see #1 on Seven ways to think like the web; #4, getting them to stick to our “disciplined naming conventions” remains a work in progress).
- Thanks to Joomla’s Publish/Unpublish feature, we also stand a chance keeping up with the frequent changes in tutors being sent to the LRC or not, by entirely hiding non-applicable calendars (so that students do not have to think about what we mean by “no time slots = sorry, currently no tutor”):
