Language / Keyboard / locale / location ?

[WAZZIE]

Hi all - I am having great success with SCCM and OSD. I now have 32 and 64 bit windows PXE'ing. It also installs some core applications (office / adobe reader / av software ) as part of task sequence and works a treat.

 

However something i didnt really check is the language settings / keyboard etc.

 

It has come to pass that anything i deploy is set to English(united states) - whereas i want it to be ENGLISH (United kingdom)

 

I have read articles here about knocking up an unattend.xml and packaging it as part of the deploy TS.

 

Is this the way to do it ?

Anyone know if this is the way forward - i guess im just looking for reassurance before i give it a go.

 

Look forward to any info on this, and once again, thanks everyone for your assistance thus far. Once my whole sccm project is up and running (and documented) I will pretty much give it all to ANYWEB to see if he wants to make use of any of it here as further resources to the already very comprhensive tutorials.

Specifically need the deployed os set as

COUNTRY / REGION : UNITED KINGDOM

TIME AND CURRENCY : ENGLISH(UNITED KINGDOM)

KEYBOARD LAYOUT : UNITED KINGDOM

 

If that assists anyone !

Look forward to any pointers !

Hi Anyweb -

wasnt going to try it until back at work tomorrow, however i was bored so I followed your instructions using my test sccm setup at home, on a quick osd of win7 which was suffering the same issue.

 

All good - worked like a charm. once again - i cant thank you enough.

I will give info back on my software and osd rollouts once the pressure on the project dies down a bit.

as yet i have documented very little - but i will do and your welcome to have it all and post anything you think would help or assist.

 

look forward to more posts and interesting reading soon !!
