Hi,

I am attemtping to enforce UK region settings on some printer release workstations. I have set this using Regional Options GPP, RSOP reports that the setting has been applied successfully but alas when the account is logged in the keyboard settings are still set to US.

I have noticed that if I check the setting on the policy it says that the Standard language identifier is Not Specified could this be where the problem lies?

Any help with this is much appreciated.

Regards

Jimmy

 

You did use the user setting right ?

any event's or errors anywhere ?

Alas.... the Regional Setting in Group Policy Preferences does not work very well and it always set your keyboard layout back to USA... So... dont use it... I have ended up just setting the keyboard setting in the system and default profiles.

Hope it helps

I use with great succes this .ADM file that I created for the French Canada / Standard Canada Multilangue. You can always change it and set your settings for English UK.

Here it is :

Save it as SetLayout.adm and import it in GPMC. To get your settings for English UK layout, check the registry on a computer that has it already set.

Many thanks for your replies.

I will give the ADM file a try Voldar.

i'd stick with the registery edit via gpo :)

Hi Jimmy,

 

Be sure to press the F5 key on the GPP/Regionnal Settings screen to change the red underline to green (settings activated).

Thanks to http://forums.techarena.in/active-directory/1191519.htm :-)

Regards

Benoit.

Thanks for the hint, I'm sure this will be changed with upcoming releases. So that it is more clear how to change the red underline to green.

Thanks Benoit.

Any idea where in the manual it says to press F5 btw? The dialog mentions the green line, I'm unfortunately color deficient and was under the impression the striped line was green ;).

That said, even with good vision it's not clear it should be a solid line, it does mention it should be green. But not that the apply buttons do not work for example (if I select another language, click apply (and even close/reopen) it will remain a striped red (I suppose - still color deficient ;)) line.

I pressed F5 o the other tabs too. What a weird way to configure something...

2012 GPO message:

This option affects how some programs format numbers, currencies, dates, and time.

The enabled (green underline) selected locale will become the end-user's default locale when this policy is applied otherwise all settings apply to the end-user's default locale. The locale may be customized on subsequent property pages.

Maybe there's a more logical way to get it inputted/green lined/accepted but F5 is just weird. It doesn't even look like a webpage - nor out of date ;).

Benoit you legend!
