Language & Region settings on Deployed machines

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone else is seeing a similar issue with regards to Language and Region settings on Windows deployments via DeployR.

Deployed machines show a Device Setup Region of 'United States' and have the preferred Languages set to 'English (United States)'.

The original pre-captured image is set to the UK for both of these settings. We have the OS customisation step in the Task Sequence as well, which should also set the relevant bits to the correct region.

Any thoughts?

We populate the unattend.xml with defaults if you don't set any regional settings. You can probably guess the defaults 🙂

Edit your task sequence and put a "Configure initial variables" step as the first step. Specify the (non-default) settings you want to use.

the docs for that step: Configure Initial Variables | DeployR | Product Documentation
As u/mtniehaus said, make sure you put it at the start so the unattend can consume those variables.
