Stupid fucking microsoft and their US roots.

My whole network is set to a US keyboard. No fucking good when my network has UK keyboards

Now, if i log on as administrator, change it to UK setup and log out, log back in as admin all is fine and the @ sign is in the right place.

But, if I log in as anyone else (I assume becuase they have a profile that is streamed from the server), back to US setting.

How do I change this? TIA

um....you tried deleting the US keyboard, which defaults it to UK. When you press ok it says you cant remove us but leaves uk as default.

Is this on each machine or just on the server ?

Daniel, eh?

INSTRUCTIONS
======================
Step 1: Save the above code as keyboard.adm file into the folder C:Windows\inf on the server

Step 2: Create and link a new GPO (call it something like “Keyboard Layout”)

Step 3: Edit the Keyboard Layout GPO

Step 4: In the Group Policy Editor Window; under User Configuration, right click Administrative Templates and choose Add Template

Step 5: select the keyboard.adm template and click OK until you are returned to the Group Policy Editor window

Step 6: with Templates still selected on the left hand side, select view from the toolbar, and filtering

Step 7: make sure the bottom 2 tick boxes (“only show configured policy settings” and “only show policy settings that can be fully managed”) are un-ticked

Step 8: Browse to the following setting (using the view on the left hand side) User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Custom Settings > Keyboard Layout

Step 9: Enable the policy setting listed on the right hand side (“Set UK Keyboard Layout”)

btw
