    There are a few things you can check to try to resolve your issue.

    1. Group Policy

    First, check to see if there is a Group Policy object (GPO) that is preventing you from changing the time. To do this, open the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc) and navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts (Startup/Shutdown). If there are any scripts configured under Startup, review them to see if any of them are preventing you from changing the time.

    1. Registry

    You can also check the registry to see if there is a setting that is preventing you from changing the time. To do this, open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
    

    Look for a value called NoModifySystemTime. If it is set to 1, it will prevent you from changing the system time. To disable this setting, double-click on it and change the value to 0.

    1. Windows Time service

    If you've checked the Group Policy and registry and you still can't change the time, it's possible that the Windows Time service is not configured correctly. To check this, open the Services console (services.msc) and locate the Windows Time service. Make sure that the service is started and that the startup type is set to Automatic.

     

    Ensure that the Windows Time Service (w32time) is running. You can start it by running the following command in an elevated Command Prompt:

     

    net start w32time

  • How are you trying? Also try from Server Manager\Local Server\Time zone dialog.

      Happened the same to me, your answer is right and good, but, i was not able to change timezone in the first hours after deploying my new server, was disabled saying something about the administrator had restricted it.

      Today it works fine, so it looks like it's something that takes some settlement of the server after deployment.
