This bug is fixed in Outlook 2010 SP1 Outlook 2010 SP1
I thought I posted this bug a long time ago but search doesn’t bring it up, so here goes. If it’s really a duplicate, sorry. :)
When users attempt to change the Calendar’s Default reminder from 15 minutes to a value of 1 day or more, the new value isn’t saved. It works correctly if the reminder time is under 1 day, but anyone who needs a reminder time of 1 day or more will need to edit the registry and create (or edit) the following registry key and value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
DWORD: RemindDefault
Enter the minutes you want to use for the reminder ie, 1440 Decimal equals 1 day.

What is your workday end time in options, calendar options? What day is the quick flag set for? (Ie, when you click Follow up > Add reminder, is the start day today or tomorrow (or some future date). The reminder is based on the work day end if the quick flag is set on today; if its set for tomorrow or later, the reminder is either the start of the workday or the reminder time.
