change_timezone_azure_vm.ps1
# In Azure Windows Server VMs you can't change time zone via system Date and Time
# Alternative solution using admin powershell...
# Get available time zones by name
Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable
# Filter on ID
Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable | Where-Object ({$_.ID -like "*Europe*"})
# Set the timezone from an ID
Set-TimeZone -Id "W. Europe Standard Time"
# Also check region settings, language etc. These are editable via system Time & Language.
