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.

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
