Date Format Changes from European to US on Domino Server
Problem:
A Domino R4.6x or R5.x International English server is running on a Windows NT 4.0 box with the latest available service pack,. The Regional Settings and the locale in the Windows NT Control Panel are consistent with the European country where the server is located. Every Monday, at 07:00 AM (it could be a different time) the date format on the Domino server console switches dynamically from dd/mm/yy to mm/dd/yy.
Solution:
You must restart the Domino server to return the date to the correct format.
This is an issue with the NT operating system. As a result of this issue, Domino displays the date in an incorrect format. In R5, Domino attempts to stay synchronized with the operating system (in an effort to address an issue in R4.x where time drifted [please refer to the document titled "Time Creep and Future Dates on Fast Server or Workstation", #167761 for additional information]). As a result, the time/date format calls that Domino makes can receive incorrect information from NT under certain conditions. Perfmon coming in with a different date format is an example. Domino is requesting NT to display information in a given format. NT remembers that format and when another application asks for time/date format, the one that NT was using is displayed. The same thing can be seen by opening up the Date/Time setting in Control Panel on an NT box running a Domino server and changing the time. If you wait for Domino to ask for a time update, then cancel out, the time in the log will change to the time you set and then back to the correct time after that.
An enhancement request has been submitted to Lotus Quality Engineering for a Notes.ini parameter that will allow you to choose the date format. This is already available for Unix systems.

Excerpts from the Log.nsf ...
A customer is running the Domino server normally. At the console the date appears as follows (simplified log):
22/09/2000 11:12:16 Router: No messages transferred to NOTSWING/DITS/RENAULT via Notes
22/09/2000 11:14:14 You are not authorized to perform this operation
22/09/2000 11:14:17 User not authenticated
22/09/2000 11:14:32 User not authenticated
22/09/2000 11:15:00 You are not authorized to perform this operation
The customer then runs the NT performance monitor on the "process" (does not have to be a Notes process). The Performance Monitor is run by the Domain Administrator account, which has a U.S. profile. The then console looks like this :
09/22/2000 11:17:32 AM HTTP Web Server: Item Not Found Exception
09/22/2000 11:18:37 AM HTTP Web Server: Invalid URL Exception
09/22/2000 11:19:39 AM User not authenticated
09/22/2000 11:19:46 AM User not authenticated
In this particular case the Regional Settings in Control Panel are as follows :
- Regional Settings : Italian, Date format is dd/mm/yy
- Registry settings are set to Italy in HKEY_USERS\Default\control panel\international.
The account for the system/default and the local administrator are set with Italian properties, in addition to date format.
