Customer may reach out to you looking for solution how they can configure time zone on the devices.

The policy must be targeted to Device Group only which means a group that only contains device, no user accounts.

Get the Time Zone ID

To set the time zone, we need the Time zone ID first that Intune/Windows understand. To get that:

• Open PowerShell
• Run Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable

Create Profile

• Create Configuration profile.
• Platform: Windows 10 and later Profile type: Settings catalog
• Click create. Name your profile
• Click on Add setting and search for “Time Zone”
• Click on the Time language setting and then click on Configure Time zone
• Now enter the time zone name. In my example, I am using India Standard Time

• Click Next and Target to group that only contains device and create the policy.
• Sync the device from Intune or from access work or school account
• Once the policy has status of success
• Restart the device and time zone should be applied
