OT: MS Server 2003 computer time
|
We use RDP sessions on a server based Stateside. Staff are spread across 3
timezones. The server is set to EST.
Can different users get different clock times so that we can use Outlook
Calendar without having to second guess the feckin time.
|
I don't think you can - unless you change to Citrix for the thin-client
connection.
|
Yes you can. It is called "time zone redirection" and is turned off by
default. You can turn it on through GP applied to the terminal servers.
See
"By default Terminal Server keeps track of time according to the time zone
in which it has been configured, rather than on a per-user basis. This can
be a problem when a user connects to a terminal server outside of the time
zone in which the user is located because the local computer uses the time
configured on the terminal server rather than the local time. If you are
hosting time-sensitive applications on your terminal server or if you have
processes in place that depend on the user's current local time, such as
financial systems and calendaring, you might want to enable the Allow Time
Zone Redirection Group Policy setting. This policy is located in Windows
Components/Terminal Services. With this setting enabled, Terminal Services
uses the server base time on the terminal server and the client time zone
information to calculate the time on the session."

Of course you are correct - I was sleeping I think and assuming they
were just RDPing into the desktop of the server (not using TS as
such)...
|
No worries. Made me scratch my head enough to go look up the way to do it.
No doubt someone will come along at work in the next few days to ask the
same thing, and I will have the chance to look knowledgeable.
