Customizing and Automating Installations

You can specify the time zone of the computers in your organization by using the TimeZone key in the [GuiUnattended] section of your answer file or the Sysprep.inf file. If the TimeZone key is not present, the user is prompted for a time zone specification during setup.

To preset time zones

  • In your answer file, add the following entry in the [GuiUnattended] section:

[GuiUnattended]

TimeZone = index

where index specifies the time zone of the computer.

For a list of valid TimeZone indixes, see Unattend.doc in Support\Tools\Deploy.cab on the Windows 2000 Professional operating system CD.
