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
formation "
