Description Felix Botner

2013-01-03 10:33:09 CET

UCS Server:
-> more /etc/timezone 
Europe/Berlin

UCC Client (TC local boot):
-> more /etc/timezone 
Etc/UTC

The following steps are needed:

1. Check, where the timezone is configured on the UCS system (only in /etc/timezone or is there a UCR var)

2. Modify ucc-pxe-boot, so that the timezone information is written to the PXE configs

3. Modify univention-corporate-client, so that the Upstart job reads the timezone as sets it if a change is needed

4. Modify univention-ucc-initramfs, so that the timezone is set for the initial installation

Added parsing of new variable ucc/timezone
Add ucc/timezone as persistent variable
Modified upstart job to set timezone info 
Append server timezone as boot parameter

Added new ucr variable to configure the timezone of ucc-clients upon installation: ucr/pxe/timezone. Initially set to system timezone.

OK -> ucc/timezone was set to the correct value on a live booted UCC system
OK -> ucc/timezone was set to the correct value on a installed UCC system

Verified.
