Try setting up a policy through CMC and see if the timezone settings make
any difference.
 
Have your local PCs got the correct timezones?
Are the server and PCs using the same language? You may have a problem
estimating the timezone correctly if you have say a polish XP install
connecting to a US language server.
Have the PCs got the same list of possible timezones as the servers? See
language.
Is Daylight Saving turned off on either the client of server?
Is the problem consistant through timezones? Like do some work and some not?

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.

Jez.

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.
