Thanks Rick. Definitely not the answer I was hoping for.

Hi Michael,
If the client can't support some sort of timezone, local client timezone
support won't do a thing. On the plus side, most newer thin client, even the
Wyse 1200le support timezones.
Life's a bit harder with older thin clients. On one site that has a private
network, it was dead easy to use the IP subnet as a geographical locator,
and then use a product like EOL timezones (Appsense server toolkit etc)to
script client timezone support. We're in fact still doing this on one XP
site because it saves having to define timezones on their several hndred
winterms.
Citrix have stated that they may have a script interface to timezone
settings in the next FR, but in the interim you'll have to handle your older
thinstars with a third party product.
regards,
Rick

I apologize if this has been dealt with. I have been going through Citrix's
forums and the archives for this list and have not found the answer yet.
We are just starting to test MetaframeXP here. We have a 92 server MF1.8
farm now and while doing some of our initial testing we have been unable to
get the local time zone support to work on the NCD ThinSTARs. I realize
they don't have local clocks on them, but in the NCD Central Management
software there is an extension for time zone support. We have it set as we
want it to be, be we always get the Pacific time zone when logging in from
the NCDs. Eastern is what we are after for these users.
We are running on Windows2000 with MFXP FR2.
Has anyone got local time zone support to work on the thin clients? Is
there any other way to get this support? We are currently working on our AD
migration as well. Anything I can use in there, like GPO, that could get us
out of this as well?
Thanks for any help/suggestions in advance.
