Please change all reporting, alerts, logs, etc to use the server's local time when an event occurs and not GMT.

I guess they did that to avoid additional computations, especially for companies using multiple timezones.

We already tried fooling the server into thinking that it was in GMT by setting the Windows time to +0. But that screwed up the dates on some clients. We were using multiple time zones.

Why not both?

I'd rather have the local time and have GMT as an option.
Local time for companies whose entire network are in a single timezone. No point in using GMT there.
And then GMT for companies with networks on multiple timezones. But, it would be a little harder or time consuming making conversions everytime you set a timed policy.
