Incorrect time on thin clients

[Ben Fleming via AdminLife]

I recently added 5 new servers to my Citrix farm and startedgetting complaints that the time was incorrect on them. I amunable to determine if it is wrong for all the users or just asubset. I have logged onto the servers in question from mydesktop PC throught ICA and TS. I show the correct time and timezone. At the server console this is correct too. However, when Isign into these servers from a thin client the time is off by 2hours and the time zone is incorrect. This is the same ID thatwas showing the correct time from my workstation. Any ideaswould be appreciated

Is the timezone configured correctly in the setup menu of the
clients?

Acutally, I am tryying to solve the same problem. When
our application runs on the Server, we want to display
the Client's Date and Time. I couldn't find a way to do
it.

So I tried to go another route, I wanted to write a
function , using C++, that will convert the Server's
TimeZone to the Client's TimeZone. But, I couldn't find
an API that will allow me to get back the Client's
TimeZone info. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Try the GetTimeZoneInformation() function. Here's the write-up:

Hi there,

I suppose the easiest way to change the client's time to match server's is bu using NET TIME command on the DOS Prompt.

Note: Make sure that you have the same time zone set on the client otherwise this doesn't work.

Good luck! (its quite easy than writting a C++ code).
