Facter / FACT-1501 timezone contains wrong value Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: FACT 2.4.5 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Community Created: 2016/09/04 2:36 PM Environment: windows 2012 Priority: Normal Reporter: René The timezone fact should return the "Timezone ID" instead of the "StandardName" or "DaylightName" (as presented here: http://zonetime.azurewebsites.net ). If there is some specific reason why the timezone-fact is not returning the "Timezone ID", then we should have a new fact called eg. timezoneid fact with the Timezone ID". When setting the timezone with tzutil.exe, you have to use the timezone ID for that, so comparing the fact against a Timezone ID will not match up.. Add Comment

Re: timezone contains wrong value

This issue is because the timezone fact relies on Time.now.strftime("%Z") and Windows just behaves differently on Windows: C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs>ruby.exe -e 'puts Time.now.strftime("%Z")' Pacific Daylight Time Given that facter has behaved this way for so long and that timezone identifiers are inherently ambiguous 'CST' means one thing in China and something else in North America, and 'IST' can refer to time in India, Ireland or Israel. I'm going to close this as won't fix.
