I have 60 ipads in California that are all on eastern time. There's no easy way to get the devices back, so I'd like to be able to update their timezone to be Pacific.

Thanks for your help!

The end users will have to open Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Turn it On. Because this: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/feature-requests/3300/enable-disable-location-services-via-configuration-profile

@sn1 Date & Time are usually set automatically from Location Services/carrier services. You can simply instruct the 60 end-users to navigate to Settings > General > Date & Time to change a timezone manually. However, might be you have some lock or unchecked the 'Set Automatically' feature for Date & Time. I would look into what you have disabled through your MDM moving forward. If you have Apple ID's logged into iCloud you might be able to log into www.icloud.com and reset timezone to your account, not sure of this resetting locks in place though, worth a gamble.
