By default, the Unified Messaging (UM) auto attendant uses the time zone of the Unified Messaging server on which it's created. However, there are situations where you may have to change the time zone for a UM auto attendant to a different time zone. For example, if you've two UM dial plans hosted on the same Unified Messaging server, and each dial plan represents a different time zone, you must configure one auto attendant to have the same time zone as the Unified Messaging server and the other auto attendant to have a time zone that differs from the Unified Messaging server.
