Forcing nl-BE keyboard settings on OS deployment

[Bendes]

To be sure and able to suggest you a solution, I need more informations.

 

You try to deploy Windows 7 x64. Your image is multilanguage (MUI) or not?

[Bendes]

In meantime, I have found an HowTo: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1660-customising-windows-7-deployments-part-1/

 

Hope it will be more helpful than a long discussion

Hey Bendes,

 

first of all, the link you gave me is exactly the tutorial I followed to make this answerfile So I have created it this way, that is probably why i had x86 instead of amd64!

 

For your other question, i am deploying a Windows7 x64 MUI indeed!

 

Kind regards

Let's continue then...

 

Can you try with the following XML file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
    <settings pass="specialize">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <InputLocale>0813:00000813</InputLocale>
            <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale>
            <UILanguage>nl-BE</UILanguage>
            <UserLocale>nl-BE</UserLocale>
        </component>
    </settings>
    <settings pass="oobeSystem">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <InputLocale>0813:00000813</InputLocale>
            <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale>
            <UILanguage>nl-BE</UILanguage>
            <UserLocale>nl-BE</UserLocale>
        </component>
    </settings>
</unattend>

Important steps :

1. Package: Did you create a package (without a program) contening your XML file?
2. Package: After modifying the XML file, did you update your Distribution Points?
3. Task Sequence: Did you typing the right name in the "Apply Operating System Image" Task?

• Check "Use an unattended..."
• Choose a package -> "Browse"
• Type <FileName>.xml

Hey!

 

For some odd reason, the "use an unattended..." has been turned off.. I really don't understand why that happened since I enabled that myself.

 

now i have the following when i deploy my boot image:
