Time Zones across RDP

[Crowebird]

My company recently purchased a company across the time zone, IE Eastern time to Central time. We are running Windows 2003 Servers.

My question is that most computers will be running Remote desktop connections. I have went into the group policy and changed the policy in Computer/windows components/terminal service/clientserver/allow time zone redirection

With that enabled, it should show the time of the computer? Some are on thin clients which still won't connect to their time either. Any suggestions?

If you need anymore info or more in depth, please specify and i'll try to inform you

Thanks in Advance

Just a guess, but you create a mandatory login script for all logins that does a time sync with a correctly formatted source.

If that is the case, any place that i could find a script? Easier than myself racking my brain to get it right.

But still up for any other suggestions. From what i've research, it should take the computers clock source over the GPO

You could try a "net time" with proper arguments.

Actually if you are in an AD domain, try this:

net time /RTSDOMAINOMAIN_NAME /SET /Y

This assumes that your Domain Controller has the time you want assigned.

yea, that is the problem, my domain controller is set to EST and the company we took over is on CST time so there lies the problem. I might try the net time with the name of the computer they are sitting at and see what happens. Don't know if it will bog down the computer if i do so with a transfer from location to server and back to location

It should only take a few seconds.
