I am aiming to deploy via SCCM 2007, Windows 7 64 bit with the Japanese language pack pre installed in the image. I would like the Task Sequence to set the user interface and regional settings to be Japanese in computers that are a member of a certain collection. I have created a simple Task Sequence with the following tasks: Format and Partition Disk Apply Operating System (Uses unattended file) Apply Windows Settings Apply Network Settings Setup windows and ConfigMgr On the Collection which the target PC is a member of I have configured the following Variables: OSDSystemLocale: ja-JP OSDInputLocale: ja-JP OSDUserLocale: ja-JP OSDUILanguage: ja-JP OSDUILanguageFallback: ja-JP The unattend.xml that is referenced in the Apply image section references the Collection variables as below: <InputLocale>%OSDSystemLocale%</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>%OSDInputLocale%</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>%OSDUserLocale%</UILanguage> <UILanguageFallback>%OSDUILanguage%</UILanguageFallback> <UserLocale>%OSDUILanguageFallback%</UserLocale> Just before the Setup Windows and Configmgr reboots the PC I checked the contents of the unattend.xml file (in C\Windows\Panther\Unattend) and it was evident that the regional and language settings had been set to the value of the Collection variables as below: <SystemLocale>ja-JP</SystemLocale> <UserLocale>ja-JP</UserLocale> <UILanguage>ja-JP</UILanguage> <InputLocale>ja-JP</InputLocale> <UILanguageFallback>ja-JP</UILanguageFallback> However when the PC went into the Windows setup mode I had to manually select Japanese as the UI Language (English was the other option). In addition the system locale was not set to Japanese either. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction as to how to make the PC automatically choose Japanese as the UI language as well as set the other regional settings (locale etc)?
