Changing the keyboard layout after deployment
Hi All, Is there a way to change the keyboard layout language after deployment? I have tried a group policy but it doesnt seem to have updated anything. Windows 7 x64 Enterprise deployments to laptops.Regards James Loker-Steele http://www.lokersteele.co.uk/

Do you want to change it for a specific user or for the system? The system locale can be changed after installation by running Control intl.CPL with propper paramters.

As Niall suggested; I use a very basic answer file (the one below is for French language): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="x86" 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>fr-FR</InputLocale> <SystemLocale>fr-FR</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>fr-FR</UILanguage> <UserLocale>fr-FR</UserLocale> </component> </settings> We also use a GPO sucessfully. All the best Arthur
