# Replace current Time zone settings

This Custom Payload helps the IT Admins to replace the Time zone settings on Windows 10 and above devices.

## Step 1: Create the Custom Payload

- Copy the XML snippet below to a text editor like notepad++ or to any text editor.MarkupMarkup

```markup
<Replace>
  <CmdID>COMMAND_ID</CmdID>
  <Item>
    <Target>
      <LocURI>./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/TimeLanguageSettings/ConfigureTimeZone</LocURI>
    </Target>
    <Meta><Format xmlns="syncml:metinf">chr</Format></Meta>
    <Data>time_zone_Time</Data>
  </Item>
</Replace>
```
- Replace the element: **<Data>time_zone_Time</Data>** in the above payload with the correct timezone that you would like to set on the devices. For example:MarkupMarkup

```markup
<Data>New Zealand Standard Time</Data>
```

## Step 2: Add Custom Settings to Device Profile

Use our document [here](/docs/custom-settings-csp-for-windows-10) to add the custom settings to the device profile and once the profile is updated, the configuration will be pushed to all managed devices in that profile.

Notes:

1. Please validate the Custom Payloads on a test machine before deploying them on all your managed devices.
2. Scalefusion has tested these Custom Payloads, however, Scalefusion will not be responsible for any loss of data or system malfunction that may arise due to the incorrect usage of these Custom Payloads.
