I have just installed a wsk3 std server, 26 XP clients and an AD schema. The environment is odd as 16 of the PCs could have as many as 39 separate users logging into them as the PCs are a shared resource.
The country is UK and each PC has been setup so that all the keyboards and OS language settings are set to UK English. The same goes for the Server.
So here is the issue. If a user logs into any of the PCs the Language and Regional Settings change to US English. It is then possible to change the settings to UK English and rid the PC of it's american ancestry and oddly if the user then logs into another PC for the first time the settings remain UK English (So I guess it is a profile setting but searching the registry has revealed nothing). For 20 of the users I can sort this out since the password is a known, for the other 19 the issue is a real problem.
I looked to the GPO for a solution but although there is an option for setting the regional language the only available english is labelled merely 'English', it does not set out which flavour of English. I have tried the GPO option but it makes no difference.
So lets make this even odder, on another site with the same w2k3 std server version and setup but windows 98 SE clients we get the same behaviour.
I asked on the Windows XP forum and scoured technet but to no avail, rebuilding the PCs is not in any form an option as there are 30 or so Apps now installed on each.
So has anyone else seen this and got a fix on it?
