Time Zone not redirecting in Citrix\RDS environments
Currently running a Citrix environment with the Teams machine wide package installed. Time zone redirection is working, as the system time reflects the clients local time and Outlook does as well, however in teams when viewing the Calendar it shows everything in server local time which can be up to 4 hours off for some clients.
could you either:
A - have teams following the time zone redirection policy as well like the other apps...or
B - place a setting in the app that allows the client to choose their time zone so that the meeting show properly in teams.
I believe either of these would solve the issue for the clients. If there's a hidden reg key or anything I'm not aware of, please let me know.
Thanks,
Steve.

same issue here, works fine for desktop sessions, outlook calendar, but teams is using server timezone settings, so if a user is connecting from a different timezone the teams calendar is all messed up

Same as other companies using Citrix, timestamps issue is impacting calendars and meetings. Hopefully a fix will come out soon.

Like others below, we have many Citrix users and this bug will prevent them from using Teams until it is fixed.

If Settings are to be stored in the cloud, then they shoudl be stored in the cloud and deployed to the client at runtimeCitrix stopped passing the timezone to apps using tzhook.dll in XenApp6 - https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX303498 - in favour of Microsoft APIs
Would be nice if the Microsoft APIs did their job - is there a way to add processes (via registry) in RDS for explicit process TZ redirection?

Ideally, the application should be able to resolve the local client's timezone the same way it does for all other applications on the server session. I would vote for A.

We're experiencing the same issue. We have multiple users in different time zones so applying the "fix" to the registry would make things worse for us.

As we have a big Global Citrix Setup centralized in Denmark, we need MS to fix this ASAP

Microsoft please fix this. We have users all around the world connected to our Citrix environment. Using the server time zone is useless

We see the same issue. If you go into the server registry HKLM\System\CurrentContolSet\Contol\TimeZoneInfomation and update it to the TimeZone you are in then it shows the time. This is assuming everyone logging in is on the same timezone. Our servers are in Mountain and in this case these user are in Pacific. NOT A FIX but it works
