regional settings in iis server

[Stefan Ljungstedt]

Hello

I´ve ran into trouble after a server upgrade. Win server 2003, IIS ver. 6.
All regional settings on the server is swedish(that´s what i want) and it
looks correct in all ways but when running the date function in a asp page
it returns english short date format 24/5/2004 when I think it should be
2004-05-24.

The problem is that the application assumes swedish short date format.

I´ve read somewhere that the IIS server account has it´s own settings, how
do I change this ?

regards
Stefan Ljungstedt

You modify IUSR_MachineName's password, log in as them, and change the
setting.

However, this can be overridden if someone is logged onto the server (e.g.
through a terminal server session).

There is a better way, that will prevent you from wondering if your shortcut
format will still work the same way tomorrow... just format the date
yourself instead of relying on formatDateTime.

You can also play with session.LCID but I don't think there is a default
producing YYYY-MM-DD.

Have you tried Session.LCID = 1053

<%
Session.LCID = 1053
response.write date()
