Hi
I'm in the process of setting up a task sequence within SCCM (integrated MDT) to deploy a pretty vanilla Windows 7 capture and apply an appropriate language pack.
I've created an SCCM package with the French language pack with the structure of \fr-fr\lp.cab and distributed this to the deployment share. I've created an unattend.xml with the UILanguage (and InputLocale, SystemLocale, UILanguageFallback and UserLocale) settings set appropriately and from what I can see, when the system builds, it is definitely defaulting to the French locale (keymap/location/format etc. are all set). If I look in the install/uninstall Display languages tab though, the only one there is English.
However, I cannot seem to get it to change the UI Language and I'm pretty sure that it's due to the langauge pack step not working or not downloading/installing (permissions are all fine and I can see it saying that it's expanding the package).
Within the task sequence, I have the following tasks in this order;
..
Apply OS (with the Unattend.xml configured)
Use Toolkit
Gather (with customsettings.ini for DB access)
Install LP Offline (with the aforementioned package selected)
Apply Windows Settings
Apply Network Settings
Configure (ZTIConfigure.wsf)
...
Setup Windows & ConfigMGR
Restart Computer
...
I've been over the log files and can't find any errors, so I'm a bit stumped! Has anyone got any thoughts on what I might have missed. Here's an extract from my smsts.log in case there's something that I've missed, but I can definitely see that it's expanding the package (the LP is HOM0004A)
