Azure Virtual Desktop | Intune – Set Timezone

ByAlex ter Neuzen
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Windows 11 Multi-Session hosts and Intune, it is a pain in the ass sometimes. Some policies are not applied because it is a multi-session host. For that you need to be creative and write some PowerShell. That PowerShell can be applied in Intune as a platform script and is targeted at the session host.

Setting the correct time zone and time format, for example. If you use a market place image from Microsoft, you will get of course an English formatted time and regional settings.

There are two options:

  • Put it in the golden image using the Set Timezone Redirection which allows the Azure Virtual Desktop to use the client timezone.
  • Use an Intune script to set the timezone

Intune

I created a script which can be targeted at the security groups which has the session hosts as member.
