Hi All, I'm trying to change the default time format which is MM/dd/yy to dd/MM/yy via a group policy to all the client computers. used two methods to deploy it. 1. using a script file REG add "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /v sShortDate /t REG_SZ /d "dd-MM-yy" /f 2. export the registry change to a .reg and running on startup or on logon using regedit.exe /s cust.reg which include the date format changed. above described ways i have tested in a client which is applying and change the date format successfully. but when i'm trying to push it from a GPO its not applying to clients. also i tried to import the changed reg file from a shared folder by running @echo off reg import \\UNC_path_to_REG_file this one also fails from GPO. but if i run this in a client it is working. anyone gone through this kind of thing? thanks

At server end :Use gpupdate/force command for immediate effects. At client end: check for applied policies using rsop.msc Regards, Ravikumar P

Hi, Based on my understanding, the way you used was set a logon script for users, right? If so, then the script should be run under the logon users credential. For more assistance about script, The Official Scripting Guys Forum should be helpful: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ITCG/threads If we use GPP to change the registry key, please follow the below steps: 1. Expand User Configuration\Preference\Windows Settings\Registry. 2. Right click Registry, choose New Registry Item. 3. Action: Update. Choose the right Key Path and type into the right value. In addition to apply the GPP policy Windows XP should install GPP CSE: Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions for Windows XP (KB943729) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3628 If you have linked the GPO to the right OU where users reside in and to troubleshoot this issue, we should run GPUPDATE/FORCE first and then run RSOP.MSC to check out whether the GPO applied to the user. If all of the above was done, the issue still there, please search into the event logs and post related errors or warning here for further analysis. Hope this helps.
