Change AVD Time zone

How-To Apr 7, 2025

By default, Azure sets the AVD to UTC.

We connect to the AVD with PowerShell as either System or Administrative rights and we check and change the Time Zone as we see fit.

If we run the command:

Get-TimeZone

We can then see the results:

What we need to do next is check the list of available timezones, and we an filter by GMT, where we are located.

Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable | where ({$_.Id -like "*GMT*"})

We set the timezone with the correct ID by using the command below:

Set-TimeZone -ID "GMT Standard Time"

We then can confirm again by pulling it with:

Get-TimeZone
