Hi all,
We have a 3 win2k8 servers and 2 win2k3 servers. Only one the win2k8 servers is acting as the DC. There are now 2 serious issues;
1) The problem we are faced with is that on some of the client machines are showing US date format MM/DD/YYYY and not DD/MM/YYYY. The clients machines are a mixture of Windows XP and windows 7 PCs.
2) After trying to rectify this issue with a custome ADM template, the client machines now have 21/mm/2010 on the taskbar! Instead of dispaying 21 August 2010.
I have tried to modify this via GPO preferences initially but got no where. The control panel on the client machines is completely disabled and users are unable to modify these settings. This has been intentionally designed. If I logon to the client machines via a domain admin account , the correct UK date format is displayed.
Here is the custom ADM template that was used. I have deleted the template and applied gpforce /update at cmd on the DC server where GPOs are managed. Yet these problems remain.
;Configure Date source globally
class user
category "regional settings"
policy "Change date format"
keyname "control panel\international"
part "change to:" edittext
valuename "sShortDate"
default "dd/mm/yyyy"
end part
end policy
end category
Can anyone please offer any help as this is now growing. Currently it has affected over 40 systems out of 130. Thank you.
