Answer 2

@Milos Vukovich To understand, the time displayed still says UTC? Be careful as sometimes it will say UTC-8, which simply means the time is 8 hours behind UTC. Next item would be to restart the web app. Some app settings require a restart of the web app to take effect.

If restarting the web app does not have an impact, can you please share your bash cmdlet and the output? The more details provided, the better we can assist you.
