Birthday isn't correctly synced to iOS native mail app in Exchange Server 2019 and 2016

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

In Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 or Exchange Server 2016, you create a contact with a birthday by using the Outlook for Windows client. The time zone of the Outlook client is CET. When the contact is synced to an iOS native mail app, the contact shows birthday one day before the day entered in Outlook. iOS has a birthday calendar where a recurring appointment is created with the wrong date.
