Re: set time zone in group policy?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

thanks alot! i have a question about the script though.....
i change the 3rd line for my situation, right? then run it on my dc?

so it would be:
set netdm=netdom query /MYDOMAIN:%userdnsdomain% MYLAPTOP

also, i should save this as a .bat file, rather than vbs or something?

Thanks a ton!
