How To Check Timezone In Windows Server

Fourth dimension zone, along with time and date, is one of the disquisitional parameters of a computer. For Windows and applications to work correctly, the time zone must exist set up in accordance with the geographic location of the computer. In this article, we'll take a look at how to change the time zone in Windows from the GUI, Control Prompt, PowerShell, and using Grouping Policy.

The new Settings app is used in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019/2016 to set the appointment and time zone. Yous can set the time zone from the GUI by right-clicking on the clock icon in the system tray and selecting Adjust engagement/fourth dimension. By default, Windows tries to automatically select the time zone (the Set time zone automatically choice is enabled). Y'all can disable this option and prepare the required time zone manually past selecting it in the drop-downwards listing.

Tip. You can also employ the classic "Date and Time" Control Console applet to modify the fourth dimension zone settings in Windows. Run the command timedate.cpl.

Allow or Prevent Users to Change Time Zone in Windows

By default, a user doesn't need the ambassador permissions to change the time zone (unlike changing date/time). This behavior can exist changed using the Local Security Settings console (secpol.msc). Go to Security Settings -> Local Policy -> User Rights Assignment. The policy is called Change the time zone. As you can see, the time zone can be changed past the system, administrators, and all users. To forbid users from changing the fourth dimension zone, remove the Users group from the listing of accounts in this policy.

In Windows Server, but the Local Service and administrators have the privileges to modify the time zone.

TZUtil.exe: How to Change the Time Zone in Windows x CMD?

To change the time zone in Windows 11/x/8.i and Windows Server 2019/2016/2012 R2/, a special command-line tool tzutil.exe (Windows Time Zone Utility) is used. It first appeared in Windows 7. The tool'due south executable file is located in %WINDIR%\System32 directory.

Permit'south consider the features and capabilities of TZUtil.exe tool.

Run the command prompt (cmd.exe). To notice out the current time zone and its identifier (TimeZoneID), run the command:

tzutil /g

In this example, Pacific Standard Time is the current time zone identifier.

Display the list of all available time zones as follows:
tzutil /l

If y'all want to quickly find all available time zones (for example, with an UTC -half-dozen offset), run the command:

tzutil /l | detect /I "utc-06"

Change the current time zone to (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada):
tzutil /southward "Eastern Standard Time"

The current time zone is stored in the Windows registry. You can check that it changed like this:
reg query HKLM\Organisation\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation

To disable daylight saving fourth dimension for a specific time zone, you must specify the fourth dimension zone identifier with the suffix _dstoff, for example:

tzutil /southward "Fundamental European Standard Time_dstoff"

This command will alter the estimator's time zone and disable the seasonal clock alter.

You can display consummate data virtually the time zone and daylight-saving time settings every bit follows:

w32tm /tz

Fourth dimension zone: Electric current:TIME_ZONE_ID_UNKNOWN Bias: 480min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias) [Standard Name:"Pacific Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(unspecified)] [Daylight Name:"Pacific Standard Fourth dimension" Bias:0min Date:(unspecified)]

To change the fourth dimension zone from the command prompt in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, y'all had to use the following commands

RunDLL32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl,,/Z Primal America Standard Fourth dimension

or:

Control.exe TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z Central America Standard Time

Setting Windows Fourth dimension Zone via PowerShell

Yous tin can get the electric current time zone settings from the PowerShell panel. Run the control:


[TimeZoneInfo]::Local

Or

Get-TimeZone

Id                         : Pacific Standard Time
DisplayName                : (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (Us & Canada)
StandardName               : Pacific Standard Time
DaylightName               : Pacific Standard Time
BaseUtcOffset              : -08:00:00
SupportsDaylightSavingTime : Imitation

To view all the time zones available in Windows, you can use the PowerShell control:

[Organization.TimeZoneInfo]::GetSystemTimeZones()
or
Become-TimeZone -ListAvailable

The listing of time zones is quite long. To find the name of the required time zone, utilise the PowerShell filtering options:

Become-TimeZone -ListAvailable | Where-Object {$_.displayname -like "*canada*"}

or:

Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable | Where-Object {$_.Id -like "*euro*"}

You tin can list all time zones in alphabetical club:

Go-TimeZone -ListAvailable | Select Id | Sort Id

To change the current time zone from PowerShell, run the control

Set-TimeZone -Name "US Eastern Standard Time"

Configuring the Time Zone Using the Grouping Policy

You can utilise Grouping Policy to configure time zone on computers in an Active Directory domain. In that location are no built-in policy parameters in the GPO for configuring the time zone. The two about normally used options for setting the time zone through the GPO are using the GPO logon script or by importing the time zone settings into the registry.

To prepare the time zone using a GPO logon script, yous can use a simple PowerShell script (it works for all versions of Windows starting from Windows XP and Windows Server 2003):

$timeZone = "Primal Europe Daylight Fourth dimension"
$WinOSVerReg = Go-Item "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"
$WinOSVer = $WinOSVerReg.GetValue("CurrentVersion")
if ($WinOSVer -GE 6){
tzutil.exe /southward $timeZone
} Else {
$params = "/c Commencement `"Change timeZone`" /MIN %WINDIR%\System32\Control.exe TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z "
$params += $timeZone
$proc = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start( "CMD.exe", $params )
}

Another style to gear up the time zone for domain-joined computers is to import the contents of the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation registry key from the reference computer with the properly configured time settings to other computers via GPO. This article describes how to import the registry parameters via Group Policy.

Select this registry key with all the parameters using the Registry Browser. As a result, all time zone settings volition be imported into the GPO editor (Computer Configuration -> Preferences -> Windows Settings -> Registry).

If you want to use different time zone settings for different Active Directory sites, use the GPP Detail Level Targeting to target the specific fourth dimension zone settings to the Ad site.

If you are using an RDS infrastructure, and the users and RDSH servers are configured with different fourth dimension zones, then the server time will exist displayed in the user's RDP sessions. It is not convenient. You tin can redirect the user'southward local time zone to an RDP session using the Allow time zone redirection GPO parameter (Figurer Configuration > Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Device and Resource Redirection.

Tin can't Change Time Zone on Windows Server 2019 /Windows 10: You Do Non Have Permission

Windows Server 2019 RTM and some Windows 10 builds contain an annoying error with the time zone setting through the GUI. If you lot endeavour to change the fourth dimension zone from the modern Settings app or via the classic Control Panel applet, an error appears:

Appointment and time Unable to continue. Yous do non have permission to perform this job. Please contact your computer administrator for help.

First, make sure that you are login Windows under an business relationship with administrator privileges and that the Administrators grouping is present in the Change Time Zone local security policy settings.

As a workaround, in this case, you will have to change the timezone from the control line:

tzutil /l
tzutil /due south "Central Europe Standard Time"

or PowerShell:

GetTimeZone -ListAvailable|? DisplayName -like "*Berlin*"|Gear up-TimeZone

If you want to change the time zone setting from the graphical interface, you need to tun the timedate.cpl applet from the elevated command prompt or open it from the Server Managing director (Local Server -> Fourth dimension zone).
