The region settings deployment still seems pretty broken. Haven’t tried Windows System Locale deployment yet. Does anyone know if it’s any better nowadays?

23

During onboarding, do you configure any local users? I had them add this bit to region settings because I found that if the user was created but wasn’t provisioned by Ensure-UserProfileExists then Region Settings would fail consistently.

# This script seems to work more reliably when we ensure the user profile exists and has been logged into at least once
if ($UserName) {
    $User = Get-LocalUser -Name "$UserName"
    Ensure-UserProfileExists -UserName $UserName -SID $User.SID
}

That’s why there’s a $username parameter now in region settings. If you have more than one created user, it might be worth seeing if we can get them to modify it to take an array of names

Only our local admin account. I also run the create profile deployment but I think that is different to creating a local user.

25

Yea, still no luck. Region isnt changing. Having to log into an account would also be annoying.

26

Any news on the progress?

Thanks,

I had hoped the Region (beta) deployment might be working, but its not. We are in Australia and the date and time is correct on the login screen after deployment but as soon as you login with an account it is USA region, timezone pacific. Would be great if this could be resolved.

Same here, I’m in Australia.
The TimeZone task works (usually when you run it after the deployment).
For the "Region (beta) " I had it working a few times still can’t figure it out why/how but most of the time it is not.
It is causing a lot of issues as the Regional setting like date format, currency… won’t match with Australia.
Any chance to have another look Immy team?

On the task, it is mentioned to enter a “UserName”.

It just doesn’t work. We have given up and now run this on all PCs when deployment is complete. It sets location, region, time settings, and timezone (this is for Qld Australia no no daylight saving).:

Set-WinHomeLocation -GeoId 12 # 12 = Australia
Set-Culture en-AU
Set-WinSystemLocale en-AU
Set-WinUILanguageOverride en-AU
Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList en-AU -Force
Set-TimeZone -Name “E. Australia Standard Time”

For east coast observing daylight saving, change last line to

Set-TimeZone -Name “AUS Eastern Standard Time”
