| (someone go pick Joe up off the floor after I post this.. I'm actually
asking about scripting)
Is there a script that can be run to determine what a computers time
zone status is? Some WMI status in AD or something? It seems like
everytime I get new computers in the office...the OEM image that we
don't nuke and pake means that they do not grab the "autotmatically
adjust" setting, even though it's checked, so they end up staying on
standard time rather than flipping to daylight savings and thus causing
appointments to be off an hour.
Okay so the setting is under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
But the values under there are not jumping out at me as to which one the
machine is broadcasting?
Is it "Daylight Bias" RegDword ffffffc4" ...as if I flip the gui on and
off.. that value goes down to 0....
...wonder if I can group policy that reg key value....hmmmmmm

| Just a heads up for everyone.. remember next year Daylight savings will
be in March so we'll all be patching and moving that daylight savings
impact.
I think the Treo's probably did the same OEM oops.:

Susan,
Not sure if this will help, but this KB
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909915) was posted as a part of
Microsoft's response to the DST extension in Australia for the
Commonwealth games. The package contains an EXE that can be scripted
that allows you to change (if not determine) what TimeZone the client is
in - I think. I only looked at it briefly before I discovered 912475.
FWIW...

| Hi Susan,
If you try using an ADM template to add the key you may have a problem since
it includes binary settings that can't be set via ADM Templates.

| Sounds like a good registry setting to apply via GPO (as you indicate
further down in your original email). One option would be go link the
policy at the site level, as long as these correspond to the correct
time zones you need.

I don't query the existing setting, I simply set it ... via site linked
policies or script or whatever's your preference -->
Control.exe TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana
alternatively:
RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z (GMT-08:00) Pacific
Time (US & Canada); Tijuana
... where '(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana' is the timezone
being
set.
The supplied value behind /Z is from the Display value under the registry
key -
'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones'
You can also use the Std value in those registry keys as well, this is
equivalent
to "(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana":
Control.exe TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z Pacific Standard Time

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Daylight savings query
Without walking around to every stupid new desktop every year
and getting mad at Dell that they aren't picking up the right
timezones....
I want to set at my desktop eating bon bons and scan them and
see if they've screwed up and the Secretaries will be booking
appointments in the wrong time zones and the bosses will be
getting mad
(Bosses get the new computers.. Secretaries get the old ones
that already have the time zone problem resolved)
Basically I'm asking... what do you guys do in big server
land to ensure that every stupid Outlook is booking
appointments in the proper zone?

Subject: [ActiveDir] Daylight savings query
(someone go pick Joe up off the floor after I post this..
I'm actually
asking about scripting)
Is there a script that can be run to determine what a
computers time
zone status is? Some WMI status in AD or something? It seems like
everytime I get new computers in the office...the OEM image that we
don't nuke and pake means that they do not grab the "autotmatically
adjust" setting, even though it's checked, so they end up
staying on
standard time rather than flipping to daylight savings and thus
causing appointments to be off an hour.
Okay so the setting is under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneIn
formation
But the values under there are not jumping out at me as to
which one
the machine is broadcasting?
Is it "Daylight Bias" RegDword ffffffc4" ...as if I flip
the gui on
and off.. that value goes down to 0....
...wonder if I can group policy that reg key value....hmmmmmm
How to configure daylight saving time dates for Brazil:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317211
"Use a script to delete "DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet" from the
registry.
When deleted 'Automatically adjust clock for daylight
savings changes'
in Windows will be checked.
The registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneIn

Yeah in hindsight I think I can achieve bon bon status but just putting
the stupid key in group policy.

| Susan,
Not sure if this will help, but this KB
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909915) was posted as a part of
Microsoft's response to the DST extension in Australia for the
Commonwealth games. The package contains an EXE that can be scripted
that allows you to change (if not determine) what TimeZone the client is
in - I think. I only looked at it briefly before I discovered 912475.
FWIW...
