NOTE: It will also depend on how your Internet browsers are set up at your institution, you may need to get the Network Administrator /IT staff to make this change OR make a global change on IIS, or on the network itself. Check if all Pc's are showing the incorrect date format, or just one PC. As this will guide you to know, if you need to contact your IT staff.
