Why Doesn’t Chocolatey Central Management Have My Timezone?

Chocolatey Central Management uses the Windows install of its host to determine if a timezone is valid. If Windows does not know of a timezone, then it will not be made available.

Some examples of timezones that may not appear:

  • Qyzylorda Standard Time does not appear in Windows Server 2016 until you install Windows Update 5031362 or later.
  • Yukon Standard Time does not appear in Windows Server 2016 until you install Windows Update 5031362 or later.
  • South Sudan Standard Time does not appear in Windows Server 2016 until you install 5031362 or later.

Why Did I Get a Notification That My Chosen Timezone is Invalid?

Starting in Chocolatey Central Management version 0.12.0, if the chosen timezone is detected to be invalid, we will set it back to the default timezone and alert you through a notification. If you are an Administrator, you may additionally receive a notification that the system timezone was invalid.

User Account Timezone is Invalid

If you received the below notification, then it means that the timezone used for your user account was invalid, and has been set back to the default system timezone. You can pick your own default by clicking the user menu in the top right and selecting My Settings.
