    Hello,

    I want to synchronize all the date formats automatically from my server into (dd/mm/yy). is this possible to do using a group policy?

    I was able to synchronize the time using the w32time, but it didnt work for the date format.

    Thank you.

    Hi,
    It is called Region and Language settings, group policy could be used to configure that, please follow the article to have a try step by step:

    Dear Wendy,

    I found the setting and followed the instructions properly, and I changed the settings, but it wasnt working. I restarted the server and the settings that I modified reverted back to the default ones.

    All the other policies that I have dont have a reason to conflict with the regional settings.

    What could cause this?

    Best Regards,
