Hey!
Currently trying to change the locale, language, keyboard etc in a custom unattend. We can see sysprep finding out custom unattend, but then choosing to ignore it and using the panther unattend. Has anyone created windows azure images where they have changed the locale to any other language?
Here is my packer sysprep code:
{
"type": "powershell",
"inline": [
"Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server",
"while ((Get-Service RdAgent).Status -ne 'Running') { Start-Sleep -s 5 }",
"while ((Get-Service WindowsAzureGuestAgent).Status -ne 'Running') { Start-Sleep -s 5 }",
"& $env:SystemRoot\\System32\\Sysprep\\Sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /quiet /quit /unattend:C:\\AzureData\\unattend.xml",
"while($true) { $imageState = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Setup\\State | Select ImageState; if($imageState.ImageState -ne 'IMAGE_STATE_GENERALIZE_RESEAL_TO_OOBE') { Write-Output $imageState.ImageState; Start-Sleep -s 10 } else { break }}"
]
}
Here is my unattend file:
