Default TimeZone

[DougSchuess]

Is there a way to set the sefault TimeZone with WTK?  I am thinking putting something like the following in SilentInstaller (RunOnce) via a command file that has been converted to an SFX::

 

DISM /image:<MountName> /Set-TimeZone:<TimeZoneName>

 

If my idea seems feasible, what MountName should be used?

DISM documentation says that any value contained in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TimeZone can be used in <TimeZoneName>.

Do it with Autounattend.xml and place it in the root of your Windows DVD. Example for German :

 

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!--Created by Win Toolkit v1.4.0.75-->

<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">

    

    <settings pass="windowsPE">

        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

If autounattend.xml is present, the resulting install files can not be used for repair; the install process begins without presenting that option.
