Time zone configurationSolved

Hi! I’m not sure about the specific time zone part. But we did set up a restriction that blocks users from changing the date and time settings. You can try that out, it’s under the Restrictions section in the Policy tab.

Hi @roosevelt, welcome to Hexnode Connect!

@harold is spot on about using restrictions to prevent users from changing the time settings.
On your Hexnode UEM console, you can navigate to Policies > Windows > Advanced Restrictions > Allow Device Functionality and uncheck the Users can change date and time restriction.

If you’re looking to enforce a specific time zone, you can use the Deploy Custom Configuration feature for Windows devices. You can configure it using the following steps:

1. On your Hexnode UEM console, navigate to the Policies tab.
2. Click on New Policy or modify an existing policy.
3. Navigate to Windows > Configurations > Deploy Custom Configuration and click on Configure.
4. Click on Add Payload to configure the payload. If required, you can enforce atomic execution of the policy by checking the Enable atomic execution option.
5. Provide a suitable name for the custom policy, then enter the OMA-URI as ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/TimeLanguageSettings/ConfigureTimeZone.

For data type, set it to String, and input the required Windows time zone name as the value.

6. Associate the policy to the devices, and click on Save.

Hi, thanks for that. Are there any specific time zones that can be used here?

Hey @roosevelt, to check the compatible time zones, you can run the following command on PowerShell:

This will display a list of all available time zones supported by your system. You can then select a specific TimeZone ID, like “Greenwich Standard Time” and use it as a string value when creating a custom payload.
