Time Zone Variables in CustomSettings.ini

Hello,
I am trying to automate a Windows Deploy and am having trouble getting the correct time zone set when I have select Time Zone and Computer Name set to OFF in my custom settings.ini.
Currently, I have a section in the customsettings.ini that is something along the lines of:
[GetOffice]
Subsection=#LEFT("%OSDComputerName%",3)#
as we are using the mdt database to pre-stage the computer name based upon the mac address, and the 1st 3 characters designate the office location. Then I have another section afterwards for each possible name:
[XXX]
TimeZone=Eastern Standard Time
TimeZoneName=Eastern Standard Time
As an example. However, I notice that when I have SkipComputerName=YES and SkipTimeZone=YES it defaults to the basic time zone. Is this behavior that anyone else has noticed? If so, how did you overcome it?
Edit 1:
Upon further investigation, I notice that the time zone is set properly but the time is not adjusted correctly. Is there perhaps a way to adjust this?

The below link will help you include correct values

How to set a time zone in Agentry.ini

Hi All,
I am working on Syclo - MRS integration. We assign a service order in MRS which is in (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh .
When the Syclo client downloads the service order it is in a different time zone and it displays the time according to their time zone.
Which creates a mismatch in the assignments.
I have modified the time zone in Agentry.ini to pick the time (UTC+03:00) Kuwait, Riyadh. but this is not working.
Can you please check the Agentry.ini or suggest how to set this.

Hi Neha,
The [TimeZoneAlias] section should have all the mobile device time zone in it. The spelling has to be exactly what is seen on the mobile device. The Mobile Device timezone transmits to the Agentry Server , it maps based on what the server understands, then transmit back to the Backend.
Eg:
[TimeZoneAlias]
Australian Eastern Standard Time=(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
India Standard Time = (GMT+05:30) Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi"
Note: Agentry server while adjusting the timezone gets the list of timezones from Windows registry. It was found that some of the timezone settings may not be recognized by the Windows OS in the server. Please verify the same.
Modify your Agentry.ini to include the exact spelling of your mobile device time zone alias plus the corresponding equivalent as understood by the Agentry Server. I am also attaching the official KBA note tied to Time Zone Alias.

How do I make variables from CS.INI available to task sequences?

So I have created some custom variables in customsettings.ini under the 'Properties' area. These variables seem to be working in WinPE, but once I reboot and start to install Windows, the variables aren't listed.
I also don't see them listed in the BDD.log (if they should be there).
What am I doing wrong?

You need to also add the custom variables to the "\Scripts\ZTIGather.xml" file. As it is what tells the ZTIGather script to look for in the CS.ini.

Time Zone wrong in Database

Hello :
Today I noticed that the time zone is set wrongly in one of our production instance.
The time is in Mountain standard time instead of Central Standard time. The time zone information is set during database startup through a script.
The script is as follows:
#! /bin/sh
# Name: up_db
TZ=Canada/Central;export TZ
#su - oracle -c "/usr/local/bin/up.oracle.sun db"
su - oracle -c "/usr/local/bin/up_oracle db"
su - oracle -c "lsnrctl start"
Every time the DB is backed up we use down_db script. Once the backup is done. we use the up_db script to start the oracle database. The db was working fine until last backup and today i noitced that the time zone is wrong. Any ideas to fix this issue.

BMP

Hi :
We finally found out what was causing this issue. To summarise the issue and the resolution.
Issue:
We had two databases running on the same unix machine. One db was serving the east region and the other one the central region. The Unix machine was running in the Mountain standard Time. So we offset this Change in Time zone by an environmental variable to point exactly to east or Central Time zone. A week ago we noticed that the Central DB is still showing MST. East was running perfect. We were wondering how it is possible for just one db to work properly and the other not.
Observation:
East region was registered dynamically with the local listener and had always picked up the Timezone variable during startup. The central region was registered manually and it always picked up the timezone of the listener in which case it is Mountain. Even though the Time zone variable is set before restart of the DB.
Resolution:
We added the following variable to the SID List (ENVS='TZ=CST6CDT') in the listener.ora for the central DB and restarted the listeners. That fixed the issue for the central region. We disabled dynamic registeration for the east database by pointing the local listener to use a port which is not in use.

Time Zone Alias issue

Hi Everyone,
After upgrading the Agentry server 6.0.44 we started seeing the Time Zone Alias issue. Earlier we saw the issue but we have done changes to agentry.ini based on the note1886697 and it got fixed. But after upgrade we are the seeing the same.
Usefull links for the above issue

Hi Stepen,
Yes it has Java or SQL system connection last as per the note 1886697.
This issue was resolved earlier after implementing as per the note, we got new agentry server version 6.0.44 after installing it again the issue got arrised.

How to set DST/time zone consistently?

I'm using several laptops and a desktop Mac (10.6 all) with Outlook 2011 to access a calendar on an Exchange 2010 server (SP1 I think). I see the following weird behavior. For some (not all) yearly calendar entries, like birthdays, which are set to be "whole day" (which then has the time grayed out as 12am), every once in a while they get automatically changed to last 2 days, and the grayed out times say "8pm to 8pm". I change it back (hit "edit series", and the dates are still grayed out, so I have to change Recurrence to "once only", change the date back to be just the 1 day, and then set it to repeat yearly, and click "all day event" off and back on for the 8pm to change to 12am), but some time later I look and it's back to lasting 2 days! Apparently this has to do with time zone and DST info being different on various clients. I posted on the Microsoft forum and was pointed to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1638
So now I'm trying to set consistent Daylight Savings Time and Time Zone on my laptop, desktops, iPhone, and iPad. I think I'm missing something because it's still happening.
On my iPhone, in the Date&Time preferences, it says time zone is "New York"; in Calendar preferences, it says Time Zone Support is set to Boston. In Outlook, it says "UTC-05:00 Eastern Time US & Canada". Is this all correct? Where, on all these devices, do I set the time zone and DST so that it's all consistent?

Text variables. How do you change time zone?

Sorry. I have worked it out that it is in my timezone!!

How to remove time zone offset when we use a number as a relative time variable?

Hi everyone!
I've a small doubt in using a number as a relative time. If I change the display properties of a numeric to relative time, it takes default value "5:30 AM", may be because I'd set time zone to Indian time during installation ( India is 5:30 hours ahead of Greenwhich). I want it to take default value "12:00 AM'. Please help me how I do it?
( I can also subtract 5:30 hours and get the same. But I want that to have "12:00 AM" by default......?!)
Thank you all..!

As Ravens already stated, you are using ABSOLUTE time. Relative time can only be set to display hours, minutes, and/or seconds.

Time Zone Automation

I've seen some other threads and info online about automating time zone application during OSD, but it just isn't working for me.
I've added the following settings in my CustomSettings.ini. Running through a MDT simulation I get the correct settings. Doing an actual OSD, I see the correct time zone applied in the SMSTS.log file. But when the deployment is finished, it is back to Pacific
time zone. I have Pacific as the time zone in my "Apply Windows Settings" step which is after the gather step, so I thought that was the cause. Disabling "Apply Windows Settings" and adding in the info from that step to my answer file got
rid of the Pacific time zone, but made it some other zone I don't have defined anywhere.
So my question is if I am placing steps out of order? Is my CS.ini not formatted correctly? Should I not have disabled the "Apply Windows Settings" step?
[Settings]
Priority=DefaultGateway, Default
[DefaultGateway]
10.100.51.1=Site1
10.100.50.1=Site1
10.100.204.1=Site2
10.100.205.1=Site2
[Site1]
TimeZoneName=Hawaiian Standard Time
[Site2]
TimeZoneName=Greenland Standard Time

As mentioned, run-time configuration of value overwrites design time. Basically, everything set while creating or editing a task sequence is stored in a task sequence variable. You can thus conceptually think about these as being set at the start of the
task sequence executing. Thus, anything set while the task sequence is running, like things from MDT, will overwrite things set earlier.
There must be something else re-setting the timezone somewhere *or* MDT is not actually setting the value correctly.
Based on the MDT documentation, setting TimeZoneName is valid for ConfigMgr and thus should work. Are you using a default MDT task sequence in ConfigMgr?
You can try directly setting OSDTimeZone as that will directly overwrite the variable from the task.

Getting MDT wizard prompts despite customsettings.ini

I have customsettings.ini set to have most fields filled out except computer name and admin password.
When I launch a deployment the fields are all pre-populated with data (time zone, language etc.), however, I still have to click next through each option.
What's missing in this customsettings.ini file?
[Default]
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
SkipUserData=YES
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipProductKey=YES
SkipPackageDisplay=YES
SkipLocaleSelection=YES
SkipTimeZone=YES
SkipRoles=YES
SkipApplications=YES
SkipCapture=YES
SkipBitLocker=YES
SkipSummary=YES
ApplyGPOPack=YES
OSInstall=Y
SkipLocaleSelection=YES
KeyboardLocale=En-US
UserLocale=En-US
UILanguage=En-US
SkipTimeZone=YES
TimeZoneName=Pacific Standard Time
SkipAdminPassword=NO
SkipComputerName=NO
OSDComputerName=%SERIALNUMBER%
BitsPerPel=32
VRefresh=60
XResolution=1
YResolution=1

It might be useful to take a look at the ToolKit Reference.docx and verify you have the properties set for each screen you want skipped. That being said a couple of things that jump out to me:
SkipUserData=YES
UserDataLocation=NONE
SkipComputerBackup=YES
ComputerBackupLocation=NONE
What pages are displaying that you wouldn't expect to? SkipLocaleSelection does have all the proper settings.

How to set time zone for a session in Client Only installation

Environment:
OS : Unix (HP-UX 11.0)
Oracle DB : Ver 8.0.5
Developer : Ver 1.6 ( Client only Installation)
Developer also on Unix.
RDBMS and Developer Installed on different
home directories.
Our development is Forms 4.5 on X windows.
Runtime is forms character mode.
Probelm Description:
To run the application I am using TWO_TASK to connect to the database. In our application we have to take care of time zones. For that in previous versions(NO TWO_TASK used) I used TZ unix environment variable, to get time zone dependent time wherever sysdate is used.
Now because I am using TWO_TASK, oracle is no more using users TZ settings.
Question : Is there any way I can make oracle to use the TZ environment setting

Thanks for replying Johnny!
What you are referring to is adding a city. I need to know how to set the time zone in settings -> Date & Time -> Timezone. Unless & untill this is set properly the iPod will never show me the right time. Please help me with it.
I will definately use your advice on the second query.
Thanks once again!

How can I specify different settings in CustomSettings.ini based on the OS that is being deployed?

I originally thought this could be achieved using "OSVersion" or "OSCurrentVersion" but (unless I'm mistaken) those variables are in fact tied to the OS from witch you actually launch the MDT Wizard right? i.e. say I run MDT from within
Windows PE to deploy Windows 8. The "OSVersion" and "OSCurrentVersion" will contain values for the Windows PE instance that is currently running MDT and not the Windows 8 OS I am actually deploying right? Assuming that is the case then
is there some variable in MDT that stores version information about the OS you are currently deploying? If so can I use that in CustomSettings.ini to specify different settings for specific OSes I deploy?

Rens,
First thanks for responding. Next please don't take my response the wrong way but this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Maybe I'm just "doing it wrong" but I have used the TaskSequenceID trick in the past and thats actually where my problem lies.
Too many people are recommending this course of action without including the caveats. Your response implies that using TaskSequenceID is as simple as just adding "TaskSequenceID" to priority and then creating entries based on the TSIDs themselves.
In reality getting this to work is far more challenging. One needs to only check the following threads (and several others) for the issues other people are having when they try to use TaskSequenceID in CustomSettings.ini:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e17a1952-d1f7-41ef-8231-0d6fcc41882e/mdt-2012-settings-per-task-sequence?forum=mdt#f0810428-e6fd-468e-8c76-ca18b210c191
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/320aafee-07d2-4b96-9138-a902fec7edf5/mdt-2012-custom-rules-by-tasksequenceid-not-working-now
In fact, following the steps outlined here was the *only* way I was able to get TaskSequenceID to work for me:
http://www.the-d-spot.org/wordpress/2012/07/20/how-to-use-different-settings-per-task-sequence-with-mdt-2012/
Even then its causing some erratic issues in some areas like button lag in the Wizard because ZTIGather has to run twice and pre-checked Applications in the wizard still installing even if they are unchecked. Since my needs are more OS-specific (as opposed
to Task Sequence specific) I was hoping for a better solution. I suppose I can check BDD.log but I was hoping someone here had already encounter this same issue and hit upon a solution they could share.
Anyone?

Same user has different time zone setting in Analytics & BI Publisher

Hi All,
i am using OBIEE 11.1.1.3.0 now,
1) when login to http://localhost:9704/analytics, the time zone setting is (GMT+08:00) Taipei,
2) when login to http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver, the time zone setting is [GMT-11:00] Midway Island, Samoa,
it is different, why? and i can't even modify the time zone setting in BI Publisher.
Regards,
Makson

do you know how does the default time zone setting come from?It comes with the installation itself default. or it will be related to some database timezone that will be taken by BI.
default time zone values can be changed with variables that have been newly introuduced system session variables like TIMEZONE in OBIEE 11g
TIMEZONE --> Contains the time zone of the user, typically populated from the LDAP profile of the user.

Time Zone issues in Global Instance

Hi,
Can someone give best practice in addressing issues in Global instance due to change in date & time.
Say
1) A user is in America and system time zone is GMT
2) Order screen: sched ship date shown based on user preference as GMT-5hrs. Say it is 30-Jun-2008 7:30 pm
3) However, in the back end the data is stored as 1-Jul-2008 12:30 AM
4) This certainly seems to have an impact to standard date fields.
5) This also seems to have impact on effectivity dates which don't have timestamp. Eg, pricelist effectivity end date = 30-Jun-2008. The pricelist becomes ineffective at 7 PM EST because of system time zone being GMT.
Any pointers to address such issues, would be of great help.
Thanks.

Hi,
below is an answer from Oracle on similar issue regarding timezones:
Oracle E-Business Suite version 11i10 or higher
1 Oracle RDBMS 9i or higher
2 The database must be configured to use the time zone file
'timezlrg.dat' rather than the 'timezone.dat' file
3 The database must be started in the standard corporate time zone
4 Profile 'Server Timezone' (SERVER_TIMEZONE_ID) must be set at the Site
level, and must be set to the same standard corporate time zone as the
database
5 Profile 'Client Timezone' (CLIENT_TIMEZONE_ID) must be set at the user
level
6 Profile 'Enable Timezone Conversions' (ENABLE_TIMEZONE_CONVERSIONS)
must be set to 'Yes' ('Y') at the Site level.
7 Profile 'Concurrent: Multiple Time Zones' (CONC_MULTI_TZ) should be
set to 'No' (N) at the Site level
8 Environment variable FORMS60_APPSLIBS must be set in the Forms tier
(this has always been a requirement for 11i)
9 Forms must be launched through the Personal Home Page or Navigate portlet
Additionally check these notes:
Note 330075.1
