Autopilot Provisioned Devices Time is Set to Pacific Time

CodyMillwee-0967 0

I am setting up Autopilot for my company. Our deployment profile is currently successful, EXCEPT for the time. No matter where the device goes or where the user logs in the time is set to Pacific Time. I am having difficulty locating a viable solution so that our deployed devices have the correct time where the user logs in from.

Pacific time is by default unless the device is provisioned on LAN. There is no out-of-the-box solution that can change the time zone dynamically for you. You are looking at a custom solution in form of a PS script and\or utilizing something like Azure Maps.

if everyone's in one zone, just set it with the Time Language Settings > Configure Time Zone setting in the settings catalog. if users are spread out, you need automatic time zone actually working: a script that sets HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tzautoupdate Start to 3 and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\location Value to Allow, plus Privacy/LetAppsAccessLocation set to 1 (force allow). Microsoft's note says 0 is the recommended value but 1 is what makes sure auto time zone gets a location.
