Is there an easy way to dynamically set time zone for users that travel? Our users are Entra ID joined.
- SigurdWernerNov 29, 2023Iron ContributorBut isn't Windows learning the time zone from network (WiFi or Cellular) by default?
- Nov 29, 2023if you turn off the privacy page in autopilot, the location service will be disabled, which prevents the automatic timezone selection

I do not think there is a native approach for this - we commonly use a script that we package and deploy using Intune. What the script does:
-Turn on device location and time zone auto update
-Set the NTP server
-Configure the w32tm service
-Configure the time sync scheduled task trigger (on network change)- Martin1025Nov 29, 2023Copper ContributorThank you! We'll give it a try.
