GPO script debugging.

Question

Hi everyone!

I set up a GPO to adjust the time zone for workstations. Here is the script file:

@Echo off
rem by Doria

%SystemRoot%\System32\tzutil.exe /s "SA Western Standard Time"
exit /b
32399-gpsvc.txt

When I run it manually on the workstation (Windows 10 Pro), it works, but when it runs at the start of the station, it doesn't work. Why? Attached is an example station's debug file, recording that it ran the script successfully (line 2020). I do not understand. What am I possibly missing?

GPO ID {72B162A0-80A6-49D2-B274-BDF92AF8381D}

Hope I was clear enough.

Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you so much for your feedback.

The normal users could be able to change the time zone and have access to type the .bat as shown below.

I did the much more tests but the startup script GPO still could not be applied successfully. And then I tried the logon script. The configuration is as shown below:

The logon script GPO could be applied successfully and the Time Zone could be changed.

We could try to configure the Logon script to see whether it works. Thanks for your understanding and support.

Best regards,

Hi Hannah Xiong!

Thanks for your answer and sorry for my late response.

I can not understand that an simple domain user could change the time zone on his workstation, but system account can not! Weird! Anyway, the user GPO worked! An workaround solution!

Thanks.
