Re: Login script with admin priveleges

Wit hone exceptions. "Startup" scripts change the machine permanently. TZ
can only be set once in a startup script and the machine will stay that way
until the script is changed or until the machine is put into a different OU.

Per user settings will change with user login. If TZ has not been blocked
in the control panel the user should be able to change the preference and
language settings.
