Method 1: Temporarily change the time zone for the computer
If you have permission to modify the computer’s system clock, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type TimeDate.cpl and then click OK.
2. Click the Time Zone tab.
3. Note the current time zone, and then select a different time zone from the list of time zones.
4. Click Apply.
5. Select the original time zone from the list of time zones and then click OK.
Method 2: Use a command-line statement to refresh time zone information on computers in a single time zone
If the user does not have access to the system clock, the following method can be used to push the time zone update to multiple clients:
Note This method requires that the command that is described below be run under the security context of a user in the local Administrators group. Additionally, this method assumes that you know the name of the time zone in which the client computer resides. If you have clients in multiple time zones, use method 3.
· Add the following statement to a logon script or batch file:
control.exe timedate.cpl,,/Z Time_Zone_Name
For example, if the client computer uses Eastern Standard Time, you would use the following:
control.exe timedate.cpl,,/Z Eastern Standard Time
Method 3: Use a VBScript to refresh time zone information on computers in multiple time zones
If the user does not have access to the system clock, the following method can be used to push the time zone update to multiple clients:
1. Click Start, click Run, type notepad, and then click OK.
2. Copy the following code, and then paste it into the Notepad document:
3. Set objSh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
4.
5. ‘Get the StandardName key of the current time zone
6. szStandardName = objSh.RegRead("HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlTimeZoneInformationStandardName")
7.
8. ‘Enumerate the subkeys in the time zone database
9. const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
10. Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\.rootdefault:StdRegProv")
11. szTzsKeyPath = "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionTime Zones"
12. objReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, szTzsKeyPath, arrTzSubKeys
13.
14. ‘Step through the time zones to find the matching Standard Name
15. szTzKey = "<Unknown>"
16. For Each subkey In arrTzSubKeys
17. If (objSh.RegRead("HKLM" & szTzsKeyPath & "" & subkey & "Std") = szStandardName) Then
18. ‘Found matching StandardName, now store this time zone key name
19. szTzKey = subkey
20. End If
21. Next
22.
23. If szTzKey = "<Unknown>" Then
24. ‘Write entry to the Application event log stating that the update has failed to execute
25. objSh.LogEvent 1, "DST 2007 Registry Update and Refresh failed to execute on this computer. Time zones failed to enumerate properly or matching time zone not found."
26. Wscript.Quit 0
27. End If
28.
29. Dim process, processid, result, strUpdateCommand
30. Set process = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\.rootcimv2:Win32_process")
31.
32. ‘Add time change privilege to the process object
33. process.Security_.Privileges.AddAsString "SeSystemTimePrivilege",True
34. strUpdateCommand = "control.exe timedate.cpl,,/Z" & szTzKey
35.
36. ‘Launch control.exe to refresh time zone information using the TZ key name obtained above
37. result = process.create(strUpdateCommand,Null,Null,processid)
38. If result <> 0 Then
39. objSh.LogEvent 1, "DST 2007 Registry Update and Refresh failed to execute on this computer. Unable to refresh the Timezone database."
40. Wscript.Quit 0
41. End If
42.
43. ‘Get current display name of refreshed time zone
44. szCurrDispName = objSh.RegRead("HKLM" & szTzsKeyPath & "" & szTzKey & "Display")
45.
46. ‘Write entry to the Application event log stating that the update has executed
47. objSh.LogEvent 4, "DST 2007 Registry Update and Refresh has been executed on this computer." & chr(13) & chr(10) & chr(13) & chr(10) & "Current time zone is: " & szCurrDispName & "."
48. On the File menu, click Save As.
49. Select a destination, and then type refreshTZinfo.vbs in the File name box.
50. In the Save as type box, click All Files, and then click Save.
