Sam_B Sam_B Getting the hang of it Registered: 2005-10-25 Posts: 68 Loc: Bern, Switzerland	Hi everybody, our company will migrate during this year to Windows 7. Now I'm testing my scripts regarding Windows 7 compatibility. During the stating of a XP machine, I set the correct timezone via the following function: ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Set date and time and timezone ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Function SetDateAndTime() $Ret = ShowStatus("Setting date, time and timezone...") $Command = "RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL TIMEDATE.CPL,,/Z (GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna" Shell $command If @error = 0 $SetDateAndTime = "Successfully set date and time" Else $SetDateAndTime = "Error setting correct date and time" EndIf EndFunction Now this seems no longer working for Windows 7. I searched the board for a solution but didn't find anything... I'm sure somebody can give me a push into the right direction... Many thanks Samuel

This link might provide some insight.. it's a Powershell example, but might be portable to kix. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Sam_B Sam_B Getting the hang of it Registered: 2005-10-25 Posts: 68 Loc: Bern, Switzerland	To be honest, I am not very familiar (yet) with Windows Powershell to understand and translate the solution proposed there to KIX. Any other idea from the experts?

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	About to have my first coffee, so - no, none from me yet.. however - I do plan to look into the possibility of a generic "ElevateSecurityToken" type of UDF, which is needed for so many things in the post-vista environment. Once the security token is set correctly, it seems that most other things are fairly trivial. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
