Scheduled jobs off by hours

Hi There,
I'm setting up my first scheduled jobs on our Cognos, but the time seems really really off.
I tried running a report immediately as a test, but when I looked at the scheduled job history it tells me that the job completed time was 3hrs earlier than it actually ran.
I've checked the time on the mailserver and on the Cognos server and both are correct.
Could Cognos itself be set to the wrong timezone? If not, where does it get the time from?

Your server maybe affected by the recent Daylight saving based time.
Please check your configuration under Cognos Configuration - Actions menu > Edit Global Configuration... > General tab > Server Time Zone.

Also check what your own personal time zone setting is. You can see this on the General tab on your preferences in Cognos Connection.

Thank you so much, that was exactly where the setting was, I couldn't find it.
Also, had to use 64 bit Configuration and not 32bit ...
