How to change the Time Zone on VISTA from Command Line

Hi,
I am trying to change the Time Zone on VISTA from Command Line..
I tried the following command...

control.exe timedate.cpl,,/Z Pacific Standard Time

But It is just prompting the "Date and Time" window and not setting the time
zone.

But when I tried the same command on XP , I am able to change the time zone
without getting the GUI.

Could anyone pls help me in this?
Thanks in advance..

Panel - clock, language, region - date and hour - change the time zone.
Greetings

Sorry, I can not help you with the command line. Why do not you want to use
GUI? It is very simple...

You are posting to the wrong newsgroup for this.

Post it over to the microsoft.windows.server.scripting group where you can most likely get an answer
