Scheduling storage expiry with multiple time zones

Question in regards to scheduling storage expiry.  When setting the schedule at the site level does it propogate to each individul EV server or is it based off the time of the local directory service?   For instance if i set it for 12 pm pacific time when will it run on an eastern time EV server or even an EV server in Europe?  The layout is one EV direcotry with multiple Ev servers nation wide.

 

Thanks in advance,

    this is purely hypothetical but i believe it would be per server level,
    so if you have it set from say 12PM to 3PM, it should be 12PM EST for any servers in New York, 12PM BST (7AM EST) for servers in london

    Easiest thing to do is set it to run in Report Mode, then take a look at the event logs to see what the storage servers complete, you will then see what times that it ran

    As far as I know, If your storage is Centera then expiry happens based on time configured on Centera cluster which is independant of time/timezone configured on application server.

    For NTFS or similar storage, it should be the same as Jesus mentioned.
