Change Time Zone with GPO

[Javier Villegas]

Hi,


How can I change all the PC's Time Zone using GPO or scripting (Kix)

We are using GMT-3 Buenos Aires and now we will start using GMT-4 Santiago

Thanks in advance

There is no setting that is directly available to set the time zone in
group policy. But this can be done with a script set through a group policy
linked to the domain/OU. Timezone.exe in the Windows 2003 resource kit can
be used in the script.

See the related links:

Timezone.exe can be downloaded from:

The link below provides information on how to script the timezone.exe.
Please see the section "Use the Daylight Time Update Utility (Timezone.exe)"

You can also use the timedate.cpl control panel non-interactively.
