Hello,

I'm using SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 to install W2k12 servers. In the beginning of the TS, the BIOS time is changed (+9 hours) (our local time is UTC+1). I've found a similar thread on this issue for SCCM 2007, but I am not able to find if the issue has been fixed. It was confirmed that is was a bug in SCCM 2007. See http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/ee840a12-20f7-4cfc-8c5f-ad01dc351782/bios-time-change-by-tsmbootstrap-process-10-hours-difference?forum=configmgrosd

See smsts.log below

Does this behavior cause any issues at all? If so: which ones?

Note that PST (time in Redmond) is -8 which is most likely where the 9 is coming from.

I think I found the problem.

The bootimage that was in my ISO-file had the wrong timezone. For some reason, it adjusts the BIOS time. When the tasksequencer sets the correct TimeZone, it does not change the BIOS time again...

Hi,

Since there is no issue, i will close this thread. If you need some further assistance, you could open it or create a new one.

Thanks for your understanding.
