Question

to maintain the desired timezone as UTC across all workspaces. i created the gpo settings suggested by the aws  (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/group_policy.html).

but the group policy is working for few workspaces. whereas, for few workspaces its not working.

Any suggestions?

Answer

Hello
  The first step would be to ensure that all workspaces are receiving the GPOs as intended.  You can run `gpupdate /force` from the command line to force the WorkSpace to update the Group Policies then from an Amazon WorkSpace that is showing the correct settings run `gpresult /h` in an elevated command prompt and output that to a file locally.  Do the same for a WorkSpace that is not showing the correct result. Compare the 2 outputs and see if they are both receiving the same policies.  If there are differences, make sure both computer objects are in the correct Organizational Unit (OU) in Active Directory.
