Error: CallDepthOverflow when running Powershell startup scripts using Group Policy

Question

Hi,

I am trying to run a powershell script using Startup in a Group Policy. I have mapped the script in Powershell Scripts Tab under Startup section of the GPO. The script contains a one liner command to set the TimeZone information. Below is the code:

Set-TimeZone -Id "India Standard Time"

Below is the error msg:

Error Message = The script failed due to call depth overflow.

The problem occurs when you name the file same as the cmdlet. Renaming the filename to a different name resolves the issue.
