This happens on both Wyse devices and pc's.  The pc's are running Citrix
ICA client 8.0  It picks up the time zone and the time it just doesn't
recognize the check box for Daylight Savings on the client.

        The timezone should be held on the client, and this is
"interpreted" by Citrix (though you can turn this off through a Citrix
policy).
         
        I had an issue with certain Wyse thin clients whereby it could
hold a shift from GMT (like GMT-5), but it did not match up exactly to
the server timezones, so the server just assumed it was the first
timezone alphabetically. So instead of "US Central Time" (with daylight
savings), we got "Central America Time" (without daylight savings).
         
        The fix was a firmware upgrade from Wyse.
         
        So the first question would be what clients are you using and do
they display the correct timezone?
         
        I don't think it will be a profile or a server issue.

        We are running W2K3 with Citrix XP FR3 and we are using flex
profiles.  When users login from a time zone that is different then what
the servers are using the clients time is adjusting but its not picking
up whether or not the "Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings" box is
checked or not.  Citrix support is working on it but if you are familiar
with Citrix support you know I have a better chance of someone on this
list fixing it before Citrix does.

        Any help would be appreciated. 

        Thanks
