Deployment Workbench change language of the PE

  • 772

We've just started using the Microsoft Deployment Workbench and Windows Deployment Services to roll out a bunch of desktops.

The basics seem to be going well, but I have a question about the first GUI option, which is the "Microsoft Solution Accelerator" screen where you have the option of "Run Deployment Wizard" and "Command Prompt".

There is a drop-down box there for keyboard language, which seems to only be used for authentication to the Deployment Share, but I can't work out how to change this default to UK.

enter image description here

My current Bootstrap.ini on the Deployment Share properties is this:

[Settings]
Priority=Default

[Default]
DeployRoot=\\HELPDESK\DeploymentShare$
InputLocale=0809:00000809
KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809
UserLocale=en-GB
UILanguage=en-GB

  1. Try editing the bootstrap.ini and add the keyboard locale.

    KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809 UserLocale=en-GB UILanguage=en-GB

  2. you will need to change it in the XML file for that ID. That will change it. - I worked it out, whilst am trying to change the default location for the images am deploying, its all pointing to US - click on start, windows syst image manager, open the XML (correpsonding to the Task sequence ID) - and change settings there, there are few (about 3 or 4) entries under the Pre install environ PE for input locale and that will default it to English UK. however, am stuck finding an answer to my issue !!!
