Why is "Day" in Date Field Different Between Geodatabase and Map Service?

I recently discovered a quirck/bug/strange behavior regarding a Date field in relationship to geodatabases and ArcGIS Server map services (ArcSoc.exe).

The quirck is that the day in the map service is one day earlier than the day in the geodatabase.  For example, the Date field in the geodatabase will be 12/5/2014.  But in the map service, the Date field will be 12/4/2014.

I've noticed this behavior in at least two map services.  I'd like to know why this is occuring, and if I can fix the issue?

if your layer in the map service is not already time-aware, I'd recommend you to try setting default time zone (hoping that will fix your problem). You can do that in the Manager site.
