a06lp Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I checked ref, but for some reason my Time Zone won't default to EST.

Jito463 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 timezone="35"Remove the preceding 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 @ Astalavista:No, I'm not...@ Jito463:I originally had it that way. But you just gave me an idea, regarding the quotation marks. I'm going to try it that way, and we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 GRRRR!!!TimeZone="35"Doesn't work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jito463 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 That's odd. I use:TimeZone="20"in mine to set to Central and it works, so I don't understand why it's not working for you.I just ran my winnt.sif through the Setup Manager and changed the timezone to Eastern. This is what it output:[GuiUnattended] OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1The OEM stuff is stuff I had put in there previously. If it's not working, then I honestly don't know what to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 [GuiUnattended]OEMSkipRegional=1TimeZone=35OemSkipWelcome=1Yea, i put that exact code in, and im testing it now...let's see..(maybe it's a problem with VMWare?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06lp Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 oh my god!!!it didnt work!!!is this a VMWare problem? what am I doing wrong?!?!?!?!?!?!?ARRRGGHHH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argon007 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Maybe you are using the old version of VMWare...(There are unknown bugs if you are using old version.) I tested it on the lastest version of VMWare and it work.What version are you using VMWare?I saw your winnt.sif, remove the 0 and quotingfor example....TimeZone=4This is for Pacific Time, you should replace 4 to 35Good luck.

Mark_Venture Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I checked ref, but for some reason my Time Zone won't default to EST....Did you ever figure what was wrong?I have had the same problem. No matter what I've tried, TimeZone never gets set as Eastern Time (US&Canada). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnius Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Are you trying to do a fully unattended install or only a "provide defaults" type of install? I'm trying to do a provide defaults install and have never managed to get it to default to eastern time. I have a theory, but I haven't tested it yet by changing it to a fully unattended install. I think it might just ignore the timezone line when you have it set to provide defaults and that is why it always comes up as PST. If you are doing a fully unattended install and its not setting it to EST then that means my theory is wrong. If anybody is having this trouble with a fully unattended install rather than just a provide defaults install please feel free to chime in here and let me know which will save me the trouble of having to test it.

No matter what I've tried, TimeZone never gets set as Eastern Time (US&Canada). Yes, I figured it out.If you do a ProvideDefaults, it will NOT work. If you do a FullUnattended it WILL. I think it has something to do with which lines are used for which type of install (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has something to do with which lines are used for which type of install (?)that must be it... I'm using "ProvideDefaults." This also seems to hold true to AreaCode (for phone) as it doesn't come up as what is specified in my WINNT.SIF either. Bummer. But at least I now know its not something I'm doing.

georg_aw Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yes, with ProvideDefaults, Timezone window appear with wrong timezone set. But if user simply press Next button at this point (without timezone change) after installing timezone will be SET! No any ideas about bypass this disturbing window...
