Time/Date Control Panel doesn't save time zone across boots

Posted: 10-29-2003, 07:38 PM
I've added the Date/Time Control Panel and the applet works fine, but when I
reboot, the time zone is set back to GMT. As long as I never reboot, the
time zone is OK. The applet shows it correct. But, the registry
information at HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInfo rmation is
never updated.

What am I missing?

Do you have EWF enabled by chance?

I have EWF in the image, but not enabled yet.

I don't enable it until FBA is done, and after a couple of sessions to setup
things and install some applications. In fact, one of the two embedded
releases I make runs with it disabled all the time.

It behaves the same if EWF is disabled or enabled.

Hi Mark,
Have you seen new tip on MS site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/emb...p/timezone.asp

Can you use it?

Also check in registry with regedit if value is updated before you reboot.

Regards,
Slobodan

My network connection was wonky yesterday. So, some stuff got sent twice.
And, I haven't seen your reply in this newsreader. I just looked in another
reader. To answer your questions.

---
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/emb...p/timezone.asp
Can you use it?
---
Yes, I've seen it. In fact, I already had this solution in hand. I have a
component that has the registry settings to put the image into the GMT
timezone, which was my requirement. Requirements change, and now I need to
allow the configuration of any timezone.

---
Also check in registry with regedit if value is updated before you reboot.
---
No. The registry is not updated after the date/time control panel app is
used. But, the timezone setting remains correct in the control panel app
until I reboot. The registry never changes in
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInfo rmation. I wonder where
the control panel app keeps the timezone setting?

I've got more info...
The date/time conptrol panel app is the same as XP Pro. So there isn't a
different version in XPe.
I can't see anything using regmon. It certainly never updates the registry
with time zone information.

I'm guessing that there is some missing component in my image. Some
security thing?

Does this work for anyone? Can you set the timezone?

I'm getting close to panic mode.

Mark:

I have no problems with this. I use XPe SP1 with Windows Standard Logon and
Explorer shell and RAM-based EWF. I have the "NLS Time Zone" component plus
the "Date/Time Control Panel" component. I created a custom component to
set the TZ that I want. I modified the build order in this custom component
to 1001 so these registry settings overwrite the "NLS Time Zones" components
registry settings.

I'm not sure that it matters but I have all the "Administrative Support"
Tools, i.e. I allow all dependencies to be pulled in to my image. Are you
ignoring any of the dependencies that TD wants to pull in?

HTH... Doug

Re: Time/Date Control Panel doesn't save time zone across boots

Hi Mark,

I have tried on Windows XP to change my time zone.
And using regmon I can see 8 different writes to
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInfo rmation.

Try using filemon in your XPE image, maybe you can see something.

I don't need to set timezone, also I don't have control panel.


Best regards,
Slobodan
