Step: 1.11: Deploy Local Time zones

If you are creating an image for global clients or for a county where you have multiple time zones, then this step is important.

The Task Sequence will apply various time zones using the custom task sequence variable created using OSD++ in the beginning of the build process. OSD++ sets a custom task sequence based on the technicians chosen options.

We will create separate packages for various time zones using windows 7 inbuilt TZUTIL.exe utility.

Create separate packages for various time zones as below;

ACST Adelaide:

***************************************************************

@echo off

REM Sets time zone for Central Australia Standard Time

TZUTIL.EXE /s "Cen. Australia Standard Time"

***************************************************************

ACST Darwin:

***************************************************************

@echo off

REM Sets time zone for Central Australia Standard Time

TZUTIL.EXE /s "AUS Central Standard Time"

***************************************************************

AEST Sydney:

***************************************************************

@echo off

REM Sets time zone for Estern Australia Standard Time

TZUTIL.EXE /s " AUS Eastern Standard Time"

***************************************************************

AWST Perth:

***************************************************************

@echo off

REM Sets time zone for Western Standard Time

TZUTIL.EXE /s "W. Australia Standard Time "

***************************************************************

Add a new group called Deploy Time Zone same level as Custom Hardware Configuration group.

Deploy time zone will be initiated when following conditions are met;

 Add Install package step then chose  Time Zone for ACST Adelaide package and available program for this package. Under option add a condition for Task Sequence custom variable existence as below; which was created in the beginising using OSD++.

Repeat above steps for all other locations.

That's it. When the TSTZone returns true it will apply that particular time zone to the machine
