[sccm 2012] Setting SystemLocale/UserLocale/InputLocale/KeyboardLocale

[Garacesh]

Been trawling the webs for this one and haven't really come across a whole bunch.

 

There's talk of using an unattend.xml but not much about what one of those is or how to make one.

 

There's also talk of using a Set Dynamic Variables task in the Task Sequence but that hasn't seemed to have worked

 

Keyboards are still in en-US after imaging.

My comment is coming from MDT, but I wonder if the variable requirements might be the same...

 

I have UserLocale as en-gb, but the others require different names.

KeyboardLocale is 0809:00000809

TimeZone is 085

TimeZoneName is GMT Standard Time

GeoID is 0XF2 (I don't remember what this is now, but sounds related!)

One thing to mention is to make sure you are using the 'English International' iso/wim. The plain 'English' is en-US, where as the 'English International is 'en-GB.

Then, in your autounattend.xml file, you can specify the following...

 

        
           
               [b]en-GB[/b]
           
           [b]0809:00000809[/b]
           [b]en-GB[/b]
           [b]en-GB[/b]
           en-US
           [b]en-GB[/b]
       

 

Creating unattend xml files can be done in a number of ways, but mostly through the Windows System Image Manager included in the WAIK/WADK, however, here is an online generator

Yup - get the right wim.

 

If you don't get the wim with en-gb in it, you are onto a loser - You can specify the unattend until you are blue in the face , it won't work.

 

If you don't have access to the English - International wim for some obscure reason, you have to download the language pack and dism it into the wim you have got.

Yep. That'll probably be it.

SW_DVD5_WIN_ENT_LTSB_2016_64BIT_English_MLF_X21-07421.iso vs SW_DVD5_WIN_ENT_LTSB_2016_64BIT_Eng_Intl_MLF_X21-07479.iso

 

Rookie mistake.

[Garacesh]

And would you look at that, when you use the international ISO, it puts it in English

(Amusingly it also gives us 24H time rather than 2x12.. Take from that what you will)

English, Vs English (Simplified) Innit!
