Date And Time

[alan lim]

Hi All,

I work in a computer reseller company. I always have to setup and configure new computers for my client. During the setup, i need to change Time zone, Time and Date. Is there a way that AutoIt can sychronize local Time zone, Time and Date to a new computer. Thanks

You can use the console command:

net time \\computername /set

for syncronize...

You can probably set the time zone by setting the right registry keys....

Use RegShot or a simlar program to determine the correct registry values.

For example, if I change from Central to Eastern time zones (USA), then regshot reports:
