SCCM Windows 7 Languages in WIM

[barryb20]

Hi All,

 

Have a Win 7 enterprise (SP1) WIM that I injected the languages in to offline. Now when I deploy via SCCM after the image comes down I am prompted which of the 4 languages I would like to use as the default!

 

Now I am using MDT2010 Update 1 integration, so the locales are set there, but also I checked the Settings package and the unattend.xml in there has the "Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" and "Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" phases both populated with en-US which I would expect.

 

So why am I being prompted for the language? Could it be the settings in the MDT database are incorrect and hence the unattend.xml file has been updated with a setting that setup does not like? But everything on the machine is set correctly, English UK TimeZone etc so I'm inclined to rule that out.

 

Also the additional Languages are availble for me to select and use on the built machine, Any ideas? (I have looked at the one guide about changing KB layouts but that didn't help)

 

Thanks,

 

Barry

Hi,

 

no one add language packs? I have been told the I'm missing the default language in the OOBE section, but on checking my Unattend.XML the OOBE pass has the relevant settings in place.

 

I actually recieve a Windows Setup dialogue box with the languages, there must be a way to supress this?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

in the event that anyone else gets stuck with this, I found the problem.

 

If you are using SCCM with MDT integration with the database configured ENSURE you set UILanguage to en-US.

 

My Database entry was set to en-GB which obviously the OS install did not know what this strange language could be so it was prompting for the language selection.

 

Anyhow it is now running with no prompt, its a small setting but this may save you time and effort

 

Cheers,
