Stop ImmyBot from using US Settings

We’re an MSP in Australia and we are getting PCs deployed with US settings. Is there a way I can stop it from applying these US settings as they generate extra work for either the techs or Immybot itself.

We do have international users, but as you can imagine, most of our machines are getting deployed in Australia

We are still transitioning tenants over to Immybot but have noticed that the machines that are built via Autopilot or Manually do not have this issue. Also the time is correct when checked before deployment.

Basically, no. I worked with their support on this specific issue for ages and they could not resolve it. We have a set of powershell scripts we paste into the first admin account then a settings change which fixes it on the current and future logins but its manual intervention. Super frustrating as if you are at the OOBE and choose Australia manually it will do everything itself, but the Windows backend won’t let Immybot do the equivalent of whatever happens when you choose the country.

Yes, My observations so far indicate that this is due to the PPKG configuration. I suspect US is preconfigured in there.

Be good if it were that simple, you would think they would know that and it would be an easy fix to choose a location for the ppkg file if that’s all it was.

Hi Nathan,
If it’s not a sensitive script. Mind uploading it? I might be able to get it going automatically?

No issue. We run one of these depending on whether its NSW or QLD (one state observes daylight saving the other doesn’t, very annoying). Then afterwards we also need to go to Region / Administrative tab and tick both “copy your current settings to Welcome Screen, New User Accounts”. If we don’t do that it doesn’t use it on any new profiles made.

QLD:
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”
Set-ItemProperty -Path “HKCU:\Control Panel\International” -Name “sShortDate” -Value “dd/MM/yyyy”
Set-ItemProperty -Path “HKCU:\Control Panel\International” -Name “sLongDate” -Value “dddd, dd MMMM yyyy”

NSW:
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 “AUS Eastern Standard Time”
Set-ItemProperty -Path “HKCU:\Control Panel\International” -Name “sShortDate” -Value “dd/MM/yyyy”
Set-ItemProperty -Path “HKCU:\Control Panel\International” -Name “sLongDate” -Value “dddd, dd MMMM yyyy”
