I recently had an issue with an AVD client, where the time zone on AVD hosts randomly changed to the US Central time zone, even though the Time Zone was configured to MST with Intune.

I recently inherited an existing Hybrid-Join Intune tenant and had a unique situation where I needed to use Azure to test Autopilot.

There are tons of those already out there. I’ve been testing this over the last week and my testing has been mostly
