Setting different time zones for users - Windows 2003 Terminal Server

We have a Windows 2003 domain controller and separate Windows 2003 Terminal Server both located in the Mountain Time zone.

We now have a user in the central time zone who connects with Terminal Services. How can I setup this user so their time zone is Central?

A complete step-by-step answer would be appreciated as I am not a server guru.

How do you specify the time zone for the individual user?

Michael Worsham

Terminal Services uses the server base time on the Terminal Server and the client time zone information to calculate the time in the session.

Thanks for pointing me into the right direction!

By default the session take's its time from the server. You can alter the behaviour to display the local time of the client on the remote desktop.

change the default...

to do this
go to /start/programs/administrative tools/active directory users and computers
right click on your domain and go to properties
click the group policy tab and click edit

once in the group policy editor
go to
/computer configuration/administrative templates/terminal services/client/server data redirection

you will find in there the option to allow time zone redirection
right click on it and go to properties and click enable and then ok

then close all those windows
then go to start/run
type in:
gpupdate /force
and click ok. that should resolve your issue
