Dynamic Time Zone Switching
If so desired, Administrators
may allow their users to alter
their time zone setting during
the course of an active session
using the PNTZSET.EXE tool
(figure 4).

Advantages over Time Zone
Redirection
Both Windows 2003 Terminal
Services and Citrix Presentation
Server support time zone
redirection. This feature
enables a server-based ICA or
RDP session to inherit the time
zone setting of the client
device. While this capability is
useful in many cases, other
scenarios may require that time
zone assignments be centrally
managed and enforced. For
example, someone in the
Accounting Department who’s
currently on vacation may be
called upon in an emergency
situation to access a
time-sensitive financial
application remotely from any
available computer. Given this
situation, there’s no guarantee
that the redirected time zone
will be the one required to run
the application. Hence,
centrally managing and enforcing
the time zone assignments is
more preferable and reliable
than client time zone
redirection.
