Avoid timezone selection when deploying Win7Pro

[nimmer]

Hi,

 

I'm having a problem when deploying my Windows 7 Pro image to my computers. I have successfully build and captured a Windows 7 Pro image on my virtual machine. Also deployed the image with success. Now I'm trying to deploy this image to a real computer and it works fine except for the small detail, that during the deployment Windows 7 pops up the following dialog box:

 

 

and the deployment stops until I have selected whatever timezone I need.

This dialog box does not appear when deploying the image to a virtual machine.

 

How can I avoid this?

 

TIA

are you deploying win7 using SCCM ?? did you configure the timezone value in your task sequence ?

Yes I am deploying Win7 with SCCM. Where do I configure the timezone in the task sequence? I have set the default timezone in the "Apply Windows settings", but it still pops up asking for the timezone during the deployment.

ok then,

is there any particular reason you are using Windows 7 professional ? i would rather see you test this on Windows 7 Enterprise, I think you'll see the desired result with that version

I'm using Windows 7 professional cause I thought that Enterprise would be overkill for my users, but maybe it's just me not understanding the difference between the 2 versions. I'm about to deploy WIn7 to about 200 computers. Do you think I just should use the Enterprise edition instead and then the dialog box will not appear?
