Im setting up two new Terminal Serveres (2003R2). I have made it so that
users from Sweden get their language in menus when they logon, and users from
Norway get theirs and so on. But I cannot set the keyboard language, it is
default English. How do I set the keyboard pr. country so they dont have to
change it at all.
 
Re: Keyboard layout on Terminal Server

Do you mean that you have installed the Swedish and Norwegian Multi-
Language Pack on the server?
I believe that the language is configured in a GPO.

Re: Keyboard layout on Terminal Server

Yes. The language packs is installed, but the user is not presented with
"Swedish" in the language bar. It just says English because it is default. I
can change that to another language ex. danish, and then it is danish for all
new users. I think I read that it is a setting it takes from the "Default
User" profile. But cant you set it somewhere?

Re: Keyboard layout on Terminal Server

AFAIK you configure this in GPO.

Re: Keyboard layout on Terminal Server

I found out that if you set your language on your keyboard layout to lets say
Norwegian, and connect to your terminal server, the keyboard layout is
transfered to the terminal server. So i dont have to script anything, just
install the languages that I need on the Terminal server, and it will
automatic choose it on logon based on the clients language. Now all I need is
regional settings. They can not be set trough GP, only menu and os language
is set trough GP.

Re: Keyboard layout on Terminal Server

OK, I thought that you had already installed the languages but that
the keyboard layout wasn't inherited for some reason.
Anyway, one way to solve the problem with the regional settings is
to give users access to *only* the Reginal Settings control applet
and let them do it themselves.

Here's how (use intl.cpl instead of main.cpl):

How can I allow my left-handed users to configure their mouse
buttons properly?
