Hi,

I understand that you want to set the time zone for all the clients in the
network using group policy.

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.

Please find the related links:

Timezone.exe can be downloaded from:

96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

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

Here is the link that helps to change the time zone using Visual Basic:

Hope it is of help to you,

Thank you,

Rashmi
