In some cases it might be desired to have the time zone set per session (e.g. user setting or app setting).
This can be achieved with the following configuration:
- Allow time zone redirection in GPO
Enable "Allow time zone redirection" under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection
- Set the following PowerTag at server or cluster level (can also be set on company level)
!STARTUP_BEFORE_SYNC_PS1=Set-Timezone -Id "$env:CAMEYO_TIMEZONE"
- Set the following PowerTag in the cluster or server (or company)
!TIMEZONE=W. Europe Standard Time
This sets the default time zone for all sessions as per DEFAULT there is NO TIMEZONE SET when using the above GPO! - Set this PowerTag on the desired user or app to overwrite the above
!TIMEZONE=Tokyo Standard Time
To list all available time zones open a PowerShell Terminal and run the following command:
Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable
The result is something like:
Id : Hawaiian Standard Time DisplayName : (UTC-10:00) Hawaii StandardName : Hawaiian Standard Time DaylightName : Hawaiian Daylight Time BaseUtcOffset : -10:00:00 SupportsDaylightSavingTime : False
where you have to take the "Id" to set it in the !TIMEZONE PowerTag
