Timezone confirmation dialog appearing at first boot
Hi, I'm deploying a K-Image that has been captured including an unattend.xml answer file and everything relating to the answer file is working normally, except for that at the first boot Windows is asking me to verify/confirm the time zone settings. In the box that appears it has the correct time zone selected so I'm uncertain why it wants this confirmation.
I am in Perth and I am entering in the unattend file this for the timezone: <TimeZone>W. Australia Standard Time</TimeZone>
This is what tzutil /g tells me and what I believe it correct. I need not to be given this confirmation dialog on first boot.
Thanks.

the time zone should be under the specialize pass:

Where do you have the setting in your answer file? Do you have it under "specialize"?

I've always had this setting set to pss "specialize". I'm not sure if this will make a difference. From the looks of this you have it under "generalize"? - dugullett 11 years ago
You timezone appears correct according to:

However, what you pasted did not come though correctly.
