Force user to use server time

[Guest Simone]

Hi all,

 

I need to find a way to force RDP users to use the server time as apposed to

the time on their local machine. I have set the GP object that dissalow's

users for redirecting thier local regional settings.. but am still having

issues.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated..

Re: Force user to use server time

 

You mean that you have configured:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components

\Terminal Services\Client/Server data redirection

"Allow Time Zone Redirection" = disabled?

 

This should work, and is also the default behaviour.

Have you run gpupdate on the TS after changing the GPO?

Re: Force user to use server time

 

Hi Vera,

 

Yes i have configured that to disables - which as far as i could see should

force the user to use the server time. I configured it months ago and have

rebooted the server several times since then - but i can run gpupdate if you

think i need to?

 

thanks for your help

Simone :)

Re: Force user to use server time

 

No, then gpupdate isn't necessary.

This sounds strange. Just to avoid any misunderstandings, we are

talking about the time *inside* the TS sessions, correct? Not the

local time on the workstations?

How much is the time offset? Is it consistent with the time zones

the clients are in?

Re: Force user to use server time

 

Hi again Vera,

 

Yes the time inside the ts sessions. The issue is a shared application where

some of the users have their local machines using daylight savings time..

while others in another state aren't.

 

I want the server to ignore their machine times and just use the server time

for all user sessions.

Re: Force user to use server time

 

The only thing that I can think of is that your GPO isn't applied as

you expect it.

Have you run Resultant Set of Policies (RSoP) to see all GPOs that

apply?

If that doesn't show anything wrong, I'm out of ideas.
