Dynamically Set TimeZone During OSD From DP

Create a task sequence step which could be optionally added to dynamically set the time zone on a client during OSD based upon the time zone of the distribution point said client is retrieving content from.

    You can set a dynamic variables task and create a condition based on the default gateway.

    Hi Wade,

    Can you please share your WMI query here, if possible.

    Thanks

    We do something similar, but leverage AD Sites. We run WMI Queries after the machine has joined the domain to determine what site its in, if the site is say %MO% for Missouri then we would run the tzutil to change the timezone to CST.

    I've actually achieved this using Dynamic Variables within the Task Sequence, where there were DP's all across the country that were capable of performing OSD builds. You can then use the "tzutil" command as "Run Command Line" with the variable e.g. tzutil /s %TZone%. Works like a charm.
