I am installing a Windows Server 2012R2 RDS farm. The OS language is English, but my users are Dutch.
I already installerd the Dutch MUI pack in windows via the command prompt. Via a user GPO the user is forced interface to be Dutch.
However, when a user logs on, the first few messages and the login screen are still in English. I know I can change this via control panel to make current settings "default for all new users". However, this is a manual operation and I want it to be set this way automatically.
Is there some way to do this with a GPO/registry key? I tried changing
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages\nl-NL >> DefaultFallback to "nl-NL" but that does not work.
Someone any idea's?

These are suggestions, I haven't had to tackle this myself...
1) BCDBoot sounds the most promising, and may be the only thing necessary.
2) Are these machines being built with an answer file? This says language can be specfied in the answer file. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744569%28WS.10%29.aspx
3) Before a use logs in, settings are derived from HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT hive. You might try some of these:
4) GPO has some "override" options, but it sounds a little overkill for this case. These would need to be set in a GPO linked to the OU the computer account resides in.
