Windows 8 & 8.1 British English Sysprep

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I have installed the British language pack for Windows 8.1. In sysprep what option do i change for the language settings? Is it InputLocale, SystemLocale, UserLocale or UILanguage please? I assume i just change one of those to en-GB?

 

I assume InputLocale is the keyboard?

 

Thanks

Most of those are explained here. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766400(v=ws.10).aspx

still doesn't help in what settings are to be set for this type of language pack.

why not just use the British English install media?

The technet forum is not answering many queries

Where does one get that? I can't see it on the VLSC. I will still need to get Sysprep correct anyways.

The en-GB ISOs are on TechNet for some reason.

Ah ok. It is saying we need to add a subscription. Needs a plus account or something I think :/ Will have to look into it.

Don't know why they can't just add this ISO to the VL Center. Then the Americans wonder why we hate them!!!!

i suspect its oversight not malice

I have ended up downloading the evaluation version. Gonna see if that lets me install with the VL key.

[TheGoodGuy]

Evaluation version doesn't seem to work through SCCM. Anyone able to send me the GB ISO for volume licensing? Edited February 4, 2014 by TheGoodGuy

Ok I got the ISOs for GB, but the default keyboard is still being set as English US. Anyone know an easy way to remove the US one so the UK is default?

On my Action Pack Subscriber page I only have a US version of 8.1, I've had to unlock the locale settings and region settings for users so they can change the settings to British GB.

PowerShell?

 

Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList en-GB

[TheGoodGuy]

That's the odd thing. The language is being set to UK by default, BUT the keyboard is defaulting to US!! It's driving me crazy. I tried the GPO trick for setting a default keyboard but sometimes it seems to default back to the US. So my best option would be to remove the US keyboard? I am not even sure why the US keyboard is being installed with the GB ISOs, maybe it is related to SCCM?? I have read elsewhere that keyboards can appear when things remote in.
