Does anyone know if there exists a thin client w/ a local clock in it,
so that we can stop changing the "Daylight Saving Time in Effect"
checkbox twice a year?

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.
