Action Date while in the workflow information page of an item is off by 1 hour when comparing 2 users with 2 different time zones.

Open the System Properties Applet
In the System Timezone setting change the default to a specific time zone. In this example we changed it to (GMT-06:00) Chicago - Central Time (CT) The system is currently in the Central Time Zone.

Create two users in Weblogic. One in Central Time and one in Eastern Time.
Create a workflow with two steps. The First Step is approved by the user in Central Time and the Second Step if for the User in Eastern Time.

Check in a new document using the user in Central Time zone. Have that user approve the document.
