Win7 image timezone issue

[belac]

Hello Everyone,

I am running fog 1.2 and creating an image from a VM (vmware). Right now i have a vm with everything installed that i want, i take a snapshot after doing things like windows updates then i run sysprep it reboots and the schdeuled upload task for Fog runs to capture the image. Everything seems to be working well except when I push the image out to a system I see a message displayed when i open the “date & time” window which says “your current time zone is not recognized. Please select a valid time zone”. When i open command line and run tzutil /g it says my timezone is set to “pacific standard time”. In the unattend file in step 4 - specialize, i have “timezone” set to “Pacific Standard Time” and “DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet” set to “false”.

Any ideas why the time zone is not being set properly and what i can change to correct it? seems like it must be something with my unattend.xml file but i dont know what it could be. Let me know if you guys want me to post it for review.

I am almost positive it’s your unattend.xml file.

Maybe double check your syntax, spelling, spacing, is it case sensitive? Do you need double quotes? single quotes?

I wouldn’t know because I don’t use sysprep… just kicking around ideas for you.

thanks for the info guys. I ended up adding a command to setupcomplete.cmd and that seems to be working.
tzutil /s “applicable time zone”
