Hi
Freddy,
it
doesn't make any sense to retrieve the timezone settings from the DC, since the
clients may be on other timezones than the DC they are authenticating against.
And speaking about traveling users, they may want to adjust the timezone to
their current location, which would keep international invitations and
appointments happy.
The
time & timezone need to be set correctly, so that all machines in the domain
are about the same time with respect to the timezone.
Speaking about GPOs - for international or cross-timezone organisations
you may want to set those based on the site (considering the best practices when
it comes to GPOs linked to sites), however to enable traveling users to adjust
their timezone I'd recommend setting the time correctly automatically and
disabling the users to change the time, but allow them to adjust the
timezone.
Gruesse - Sincerely,
Ulf B. Simon-Weidner

Subject: [ActiveDir] Is it important to keep correct timezone settings on DC?Hi all,
Does the client takes timezone and daylight savings changes from the DC?
I was under the impression that timezones and daylight savings changes are local to the pc and the dc ntp server runs on a Zulu timezone?
Just curious as I had an issue with a remote site today due to daylight savings tickbox.
Thank you and have a splendid day!
Kind Regards,
