How To Change Default Display language using Active Setup.
I have a setup where a system has two OS language packs installed for e.g. English & French OS Language Pack & default display language is set to English. I have a requirement to change default display language through automated procedure. While researching on this, I came to know about below registry setting which sets up display language for current user.
HKEY_Current_User\Control Panel\Desktop
Key Name Key Type Value
PreferredUILanguage Multi-String Value <Language Code> for e.g. “fr-FR”
I exported this registry value from the working system & trying to set this registry value using active setup through stubpath so that default display language for all users will be French at newly provisioned system.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to setup default display language to French for new users & it is still displaying English as a default language.

You can configure a Group Policy on your Domain which configures the default display language!
