Windows Time zone and OSD in Windows 7

 

 

Submitted by Justin on Sun, 12/28/2014 - 14:19

So I have been working on a script in OSD that pulls the timezone of the current DP for the boundary a workstation is imaging in from the DP and insterts it into the (unattend.xml TimeZone tag). this was the easy part, the problem was translating what was returned as the Standard Time Zone name to what Windows 7 uses for the time zone. I finally ended up building a table for this that you can use to translate it from UTC Display to the standard name that is used by OSD (unattend.xml TimeZone tag) I try through powershell to get this with:

$TZ=Get-WmiObject -class "win32_TimeZone" -ComputerName <DPName>
$TZ.StandardName

But what it returned was not always what was used by the unattend.xml TimeZone tag. So here is the Timezone Table used. it has not yet been fully tested and any inacuracies I will update as I find them:
