How to Determine the Time Zone I Am In
Keywords: 	 dtermine the time zone timezone
Question:
How do I determine that time zone I am in? Specifically, the difference between local time and GMT - Central Standard is -6 hours, but how can I find this out with Winbatch?
Answer:
Kinda depends on the version of Windows. MS has been twiddling with this for a while.
Try
ActiveTimeBias=RegQueryDword(@REGMACHINE, "System\CurrentControlSet\control\TimeZoneInformation[ActiveTimeBias]")

GMTBiasHours= -(ActiveTimeBias/60)
Message("Current GMT Time Bias",GMTBiasHours)

Exit
