TimeZone - dsccommunity/ComputerManagementDsc GitHub Wiki

Parameters

Parameter	Attribute	DataType	Description	Allowed Values
IsSingleInstance	Key	String	Specifies the resource is a single instance, the value must be 'Yes'.	Yes
TimeZone	Required	String	Specifies the TimeZone.

Description

The resource will use the Get-TimeZone cmdlet to get the current time zone. If Get-TimeZone is not available them CIM will be used to retrieve the current time zone. To update the time zone, .NET reflection will be used to update the time zone if required. If .NET reflection is not supported on the node (in the case of Nano Server) then tzutil.exe will be used to set the time zone.

Examples

Example 1

This example sets the current time zone on the node to 'Tonga Standard Time'.

Configuration TimeZone_SetTimeZone_Config
{
    Import-DSCResource -ModuleName ComputerManagementDsc

    Node localhost
    {
        TimeZone TimeZoneExample
        {
            IsSingleInstance = 'Yes'
            TimeZone         = 'Tonga Standard Time'
        }
    }
}
