Re: Time zone group policy change not working properly

Will,

Amazingly enough, I had discovered the same thing and was returning here to
post the fix! Actually we found that it's not necessary to pause. Simply
running the script twice works every time...so our .cmd file reads:

@echo off
regedit /s \\domain\netlogon\TZupdate.reg
cscript \\domain\netlogon\refreshTZinfo.vbs
cscript \\\domain\netlogon\refreshTZinfo.vbs

I found that by running the refresh VBScript twice the issue was resolved
in
my environment. So the process was to import the REG file, wait 10
seconds
(wscript.sleep 10000), run the refresh one time, sleep again for 10
seconds
and run the refresh again.

I followed "Method 1: Change the time zone settings on multiple networked

2000
systems will only reflect the changes once the time zone is manually
changed
to a different time zone, then changed back to the original time zone.
The
article doesn't say that this is required for this method, and fairly
certain that it's not.

This problem is occurring on systems that run the group policy startup
script as specified in "Method 1". The script runs successfully, and we
get
the "DST 2007 Registry Update and Refresh has been executed on this
computer. Current time zone is: Time_zone_name" in the event log.

A manual time zone change isn't needed if the registry file and script
are
run later after logging into the system. Although the article doesn't
mention setting specific security on the group policy, I've verified that
the authenticated users group has the "apply group policy" right.

Please help!
