How to Dynamically set time zone for devices in Intune?

Question

Hello Experts,

My name is Sumit Kumar Mishra, and I have a query regarding the dynamic time zone setup for Intune-managed devices.

I have an understanding of the static time zone assignment through Intune Configuration profiles, but I would like to know how we can set up a dynamic time zone for our Intune-managed devices.

My concern is if a user temporarily changes their location, will their device automatically pick the time zone based on the geo-location? Please let me know if there is any way to achieve this through Intune.

@SUMIT KUMAR MISHRA,Thanks for posting in Q&A.

From your description, I know you want to dynamically set time zone for devices via Intune.

Based on my research, there is not related setting in Intune can do this, Intune just support static time zone settings. However, I found that you can use Azure maps and PowerShell to do dynamically set time zone.

Here is some information you can refer.

Non-official, just for reference.

Since I am not familiar with Azure and PowerShell, if you get some problem on it, we suggest that you open Azure case to get more help.

Thanks for your kind understanding.

Hello ZhoumingDuan,

I have one more question, please help me with this also:

Is it possible to enhance the frequency of time synchronization beyond the default settings using Microsoft Intune? Additionally, is there a method within Intune to facilitate time and date synchronization during daylight savings without necessitating administrative rights? Can the automatic time sync with the Microsoft time server be expedited through Intune?
