How can I change the time zone? It's set for UST, but that makes all my reports hard to read.

How does everyone deal with this?

Searching the forums for time zone changes will yield several results, these are two good ones.

I am a Windows person and am Linux/Unix illiterate.

I have 9 hosts in an ESX 3.0.1 environment and notice I have some servers with -6GMT instead of CDT.

Since all the replies to how to do the change are based on people with Linux/Unix experience, what commands/syntax can I use to make the above change?

I am a Windows Engineer and Linux/Unix illiterate.

I need to change the Time zone for my ESX 3.0.1 (9 Host) environment. Most resoluctions are stated in a way that one understands how to run commands and syntaxes.

Can anyone help me to do this step-by-step?
