In addition to what Liran said
This time-zones lines is what we had issue with before 4.4.9:
America/Indianapolis=US Eastern Standard Time
Europe/Warsaw=Central European Standard Time
If you don't know really the time-zone of the VM, you can try to add them
To add them, there is also new provided documentation here:

Thanks,

Hi Timo,
As written in the documentation of the timezones properties, you need to
create a new file: 10-timezones.properties in the same directory.
Then you need to add the timezone like this example - if the VM set
with Eastern Standard Time (-5:00):
America/Indianapolis=US Eastern Standard Time
But, you need to add the time zone you miss (the time zone the imported VM
is set with).

Liran
