Thanks for the responses Roger (and Andreas). I had already added the SkipLocaleSelection entry, but that actually shouldn’t have any effect as I believe that only relates to the UDI wizard and not the actual unattend.xml file.
Of course, all it took was an email to the list to get it running properly. When I said I had used both the default unattend.xml and a custom one that was only partially accurate; I was in the process of testing with a custom one and had stopped it before the first reboot during the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step to look at the unattend.xml, which still showed en-US. Once I let it continue (after emailing the list of course), it went right through. I’ve since tested it again and everything is working perfectly. So…never mind! All is well! ☺ -Phil From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roger Truss Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2015 5:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MDT-OSD] RE: CustomSettings and Language Packs one last thing that was tripping me up too with the language selection prompt was I needed to add this to the default section of my cs.ini...

The one thing I have done differently is to build a wim file in hyper-v and pre-loaded the language packs from windows updates that I need.

CM2012 R2 w/MDT 2013 integrated. Basically, I have the CS.ini set up to determine location by Default Gateway and using that location to set things like computer name prefix, OU to join, etc. I also have language packs for Win81 set as packages that install offline via tasks conditioned on the location variable. What I’m finding is that if I set things like UILanguage and UserLocale in the CS.ini they are not being input into the unattend.xml (whether the default file or one I provide), and the result is a prompt for Language during OOBE. Is it expected that those settings would be injected into the unattend.xml in this scenario, or do I have to look at a separate script to modify these settings.
