Time Zone on a citrix farm

Has any one implemented time zone on a citrix farm defining it by the user profile?
We will have two groups of users accessing the sane farm citrix with differents timezones.
Can any one help me?
 
Hi Francisco,

Yes, been there on B7331 and was quite delicate.

You have to login on every server with everyone of your
users accounts and manually select its timezone, it will
save that timezone information to local profile folder
after logoff.

Be careful while dealing with several timezones,
especially when running local BSFN or UBEs, because
they will take your user time instead of server time.

My humble advice : set all of your servers and Citrix
to UTC Time (also known as GMT or Zulu Time), it will help
you a lot to organize your tasks, specially with OneWorld
Scheduler and backups.

What I love the most about UTC is its uniformity, it
doesn't suffer from Daylight Saving Time and its accepted
almost anywhere (OS/400, Unix, Windows, etc).

There are free applications that you can install on your
Citrix Servers (like Microsoft Time Zone) that will
display current date and time under 5 different
timezones (you choose them) for your users.

It shows a tiny popup on the bottom right with a message
like "20:20 Brasilia, 19:20 Mexico, 23:20 UTC".

Regards,
