Rob,
When currently have this policy enabled and appears to be working.
How are you checking the client time zone? Timestamp, client workstation,
session logon time?

Jeremy,
Have you used the CMC policies successfully? We use Wyse Winterms (3350,
3360, 3125) and we implemented a policy to ignore the ICA client time zone
for users in the Pacific time zone region and it does not seem to work. The
only property is DO NOT USE LOCAL TIME OF ICA CLIENTS; rule is enabled,
tried a global group membership and individual user membership but both
fail. I've also tested across 3 different ICA clients (6.0, 7.1, 8.0) and
two different platforms; PC and Wyse Winterm 3360, and it defaults to the
local ICA client time zone.
Anyone used this policy property with any success or am I wasting my time?
Thanks!

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.
Regards,
Jez.

Subject: [THIN] Time zone 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
