| Hi,
I want do a task of change the time zone for certain group of computers. I
have single domain & forest. All DC servers, computers and users located at
single site. All the systems will use another time zone, few users have to
be in different time zone wrt DC. Is their any way around to accomplish this
task. Can I do this through GP.

| HI,
You can control the timezone by a number of ways..
The timezone is stored in: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones
You can adjust that key by Group Policy Preferences.. and also take note of
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\TimeZone Information
that is used for the 2nd timezone (after switching zones)..
You can also kick off a script that tells the machine to go to a different timezone through the cpl..
Control.exe TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana
for the last command see also: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment/msg/d793d6a07382f2f7

I'm sure you'll find your answer here -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387/
Couple of scripts and also steps to use group policy for deployment in
there. The article relates to DST, however you should be able to tweak
those scripts to change the time zone as well.
Also attaching a script from an earlier version of the kb article that I
used for deploying DST changes to win2k some time back.

in a startup script applied via GPO.
Not sure if there is anything in the GPO settings themselves.

| Hi,
I already actually did this trick before posting it here, but don't know why
it didn't work. Might be I missed something or not. Still figuring out why
it didn't work. I tried it by running by creating startup script and try to
run it via GP, but ..... NO SUCCESS. Again my goal is to set the different
time zone for certain no. of users, not for whole domain.

| GPOs can be linked to subOUs and filtered by security groups (or WMI query),
they dont apply to whole domain only (they rarely do).
GPP has even a much more granular targeting (I LOVE IT!). Right now I cant
check it out, but I would not be surprised if GPP natively had the Time Zone
preference.
Also a script itself can query AD to determine if a user belongs to a
certain group and run some codes accordingly (its also a common practice to
map network drives and printers).
I dont know if theres an AD attribute to store Favorite Time Zone for a
user/computer to be checked in a script, I know theres Favorite Drink
(drink), but I doubt theres Favorite TZ
