Hi Susan,
If you try using an ADM template to add the key you may have a problem since
it includes binary settings that can't be set via ADM Templates.

Yeah in hindsight I think I can achieve bon bon status but just putting
the stupid key in group policy.

alternatively:
RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z (GMT-08:00)
Pacific
Time (US & Canada); Tijuana
... where '(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana' is the
timezone
being
set.
The supplied value behind /Z is from the Display value under the registry
key -
'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones'
You can also use the Std value in those registry keys as well, this is
equivalent
to "(GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana":
Control.exe TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z Pacific Standard Time

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?

(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 "
