Monthly recurring meetings are declined if the "Schedule only during working hours" option is enabled in Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1

In an Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) environment, you set a room mailbox to automatically accept meeting requests and restrict the time period to during working hours. However, you find that meeting requests that are booked against a room mailbox that is scheduled only during working hours are rejected as being outside working hours even though the meeting was scheduled for a time during working hours. The organizer receives the following error message:

Exchange Server 2007 SP1 treats the time as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) instead of local time. Therefore, the scheduled meeting is considered outside working hours.

To resolve this problem, install Update Rollup 9 for Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1.
