Configure regional settings

How do I change regional settings normally done during initial configuration?

For what purpose? There are different places where you can change the settings depending upon what you need to do.
Settings>General>International is one place where you can change regional settings.

Configuring regional settings during OSD

What is the best way to configure regional settings (keyboard layout and locale) during OSD? Do I just need to create customized unattend.xml file that has these settings configured?

Then your best best is to either us an HTA to set it or use the xml file to set it.

Regional settings is not effecting in SQL Server

Hi All,
I made changes to the regional and language (made decimal = ,) of the windows server 2008 R2 Standard but the database still not accepting comma as a decimal point.
Tried restarting the SQL Server services and restarted the server without luck.
Really appreciate inputs.
Thanks,
Ram.
Please don't forget to Marked as Answer if my post solved your problem and use Vote As Helpful if a post was useful. It will helpful to other users.

1. Right click on the server name.
2. Click on Facets.
3. Then select Server Configuration Facet.
4. Look for Default Language.
5. Set it to values as given in the below link:- For Ex: 1 for German
This changes the default language for new users. (And I don't think there is a need to restart of SQL Server, but I have not checked.)
To change the default language for an existing user, use ALTER USER.
But of course, the whole talk about language setting in SQL Server in this context is completely uselss. SQL Server only knows about decimal points. This applies both to literals in the code, and when interpreting strings with CAST/CONVERT.
Everyone is correct that that regional settings does not affect SQL Server - nor should it, it is a server after all.
One more point here when i try creating a filtering functionality on application it is creating decimal as "." not "," is this issue related to application or DB?
I have no idea what you are doing, but the answer is probably the application.

Set Date/Currency/Numeric Format in WebIntelligence - Regional Settings

We have migrated from BOE R2 to BOE R3.1, and our users have observed that the date & numeric format is not localized to spanish (Spain).
How can Web Intelligence regional settings be configured to all the users (not editing personal configuration of every user)?
For instance the time is indicated with AM/PM instead of 24h time format and the numbers are separated by comma (,) and not by dot (.).
Example 11,816,138 instead of 11.816.138
Thank you!

Problem solved, the fp 1.3 installation did not complete.
We reinstalled it and now everything works properly.

Jdeveloper 11g cannot be installed on Windows with Thai regional settings

I have no idea where to properly submit this issue. Hope I do not abuse this forum for too much.
Jdeveloper 11g cannot be installed on Windows with Thai regional settings configuration.
I've got "A fatal error has occurred. This application will terminate" error dialog, while installing.
I have to change my regional settings to English then install it and change my setting back later.
Regards

Sigh... This forum software doesn't even support image posting.
The error is every easy to reproduce.
1. On Windows XP, goto "Control Panel" -> "Regional and Language Options" -> "Standards and format"; and change that to "Thai"
2. Invoke "jdevstudio11110install.exe"
3. Always click "Next" until the error dialog appear.
<pre>
. Exit [x] .
. [!] A fatal error has occurred. This application will .
. terminate. .
. [[ OK ]] .
</pre>
From my experience, this always have something to do with the Buddhist Era year system (AD + 543).

Editing regional settings

Hello all,
is there any way to configure the regional settings beyond what is possible to do in the Language & Text -> Format window? I'm trying to figure out if I can keep some of the settings from one region while retaining settings from another.
E.g. I'd like my powers to be denoted like this: 1.23456x10^3 which is what I get when I select my home region but then I get the names of days and months in my native language and I'd prefer to have them in English. If I select an English speaking region I get the right names for the days of the week and months but then powers are denoted by 1.23456E10. Are these settings stored in a file somewhere that would be possible for me to edit?
If anyone knows how to do this, I'd much appreciate it!

If you click the Customize buttons on each of the areas under the Format tab, you should be able to adjust each item however you like.
If you check this you will see that the Customize button does not offer access to the item the OP wants to change.

Problem BOE 3.1 Regional Settings

We have installed BOE R3.1 with the Spanish language pack, and our users have detected one problem:
If our users let the Infoview use the browser regional setting (default setting in Infoview), the default browser configuration is Spanish (traditional sort) and in Infoview the number separator is the comma (1,222,231), but if we change it to the international sort, the number separator is dot (1.222.231). The number separator has to be the dot (by default)
This happens with Internet Explorer 7, and also if we use Firefox 3 (3.0.7), and the default language is Spanish the same problem happens (comma separator). If we change it to Spanish-Spain the separator is the dot.
I mark this as a problem, because in BOE XI R2, the number separator is ALWAYS the dot (no mather if the regional setting is Spanish traditional or international in the regional settings).
Is there any solution?
How can we change "every" user default configuration for regional settings?
Thank you!

Problem SOLVED.
The problem occured after the installation of the fp 1.3.
The fix pack installer has two phases, the first one where the server gets updated and the second one where the language packs get updated.
I used the Software Inventory Tool to know which version got updated, and I detected that the language pack did not get updated. It seems that our server administrators missed the second part.
We re-installed the fp 1.3 and now everything works properly.

How do I configure the settings on my MBP and Apple TV so it will stream my Netflix movies from my MBP to the TV Screen?]

I bought a new Apple TV 3rd Gen.(which is currently updated) so I could stream the Netflix movies on my MacBook Pro Computer running Yosemite, onto my TV Screen. However, if I configure the settings on my Computer and Apple TV so that everything on my Desktop is displayed on the TV Screen, then Netflix can't even get the movie on my MBP open. It just keeps spinning until I get an error message about not being able to use Mirroring or Air Play if I want to stream my movie to the TV. So, when I switched the settings so that all mirroring and Air Play options were unchecked and selected all the streaming options using the internet. Then the Netflix movie would open up quick and easy, but there was nothing on the TV Screen.
I also was never able to Pair my Apple TV with my Bluetooth.(If they;re even supposed to be Paired, but something I read implied they should be Paired.f) My MBP Bluetooth discovered the Apple TV immediately and issued a Pairing Number to enter in the Bluethooth's setting for the Apple TV, but the Apple TV Bluetooth just kept spinning. I don't know if that is part of the problem or not, since it wasn't mentioned in any documentation I read.
Also, when I was digging for information on the browser, going to Netflix Website and Apple TV's information at apple.com, I did come across a few links while searching the browser for any answers to my questions, that said I needed to Activate my Netflix Account for streaming by finding my Apple TVs activation code and then enter it on Netflix's site in my Netflix account. And other's mentioned a registration code from my Apple TV needed to be entered to activate the "streaming" of Netflix movie content. And again, I've searched for hours and hours trying to find out where or how I could find the two codes, but never had any success. So, I have exhausted all avenues I can think of and with no luck, and I'm hoping my wonderful Apple Community can help me out or get me heading in the right direction. Thanks, RVAF

There is a native Netflix app on Apple TV. If you are attempting to use a VPN via MBP then that is not supported.

Can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac

Hi there. I can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac. I have it installed with USB just fine but I want to use eprint (with ios airplay). I run the setup utility looking for some wireless setup option, but it never appears. When I finish the install it tells me to go to the eprint website to download eprint. At that site it has me download the firmware update, which I do, and then at the end of that it tells me to go to the eprint website again, which then downloads the firmware update again. It's an endless loop.
I know I need to get to the built in web server but the config page tells me I don't have an IP address. Which makes sense to me because it hasn't been set up. I can't for the life of me find how to set up the wireless using the driver software on the Mac OS. I try to follow the manuals instructions, but it looks like it is designed for windows users, and the buttons it tells me to look for just don't exist on the mac HP driver software.
Can you help?

Hi,
The Wireless configuration should be made by using the EWS page, which also accessible from Mac OS over a USB connection through the printer setup.
You may find the steps listed below:
Click the Apple icon, then clickSystem Preferences.
Click Print & Fax.
Select your printer and click Open Print Queue.
Click on Printer Setup
Then select Utility
Click Open Printer Utility
Click HTMLConfig. The EWS opens.
Click the Networking tab
Then click Wireless from the list on the left
Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
In the confirmation box, click OK and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
Once done, allow 3 minutes to fully establish the connection, then unplug the USB.
Enter Print & Fax and remove the existing USB Print Queue.
Click the Plus button and add the printer over the network.
Please let me know of any issue,
Shlomi

How to modify regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 working?

When I modify the regional settings on my W7 PC (i.e. switching the decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol from dot to comma and vice-versa), I cannot print to Adobe PDF Printer nor can I convert Office documents to PDF files anymore. It seem like the joboptions files were getting corrupted (I can see read errors).
Can anyone advise on how to modify the regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 Pro working properly? Do I have to adopt the joboptions files (and if yes, how?)?
Thank you for your advice!

The defaults for three are blank entries. That is there are no defaults, The only way to get those back to being blank would be to delete your preferences file ( Home->Library->Preferences->com.apple.Aperture,plist ) and possibly the files in *Home->Library->Program Support->Aperture* (but I don't think you would need to do these, not sure.)
However before you do this you should know there is no drawback to having these entries filled in. Aperture would only attempt to use them if you actually selected them while using Aperture. It won't be looking for them on startup. And if the programs pointed to by these entries no longer exist on your system Aperture won't even fill in the names in the menu items where these are pointed to ( *Photos->Edit with* for example)

Changing regional settings in CS6/Acrobat X Pro

Hello,
I have just installed CS6 and would like to change the regional settings from USA to European A4.
The following test has been done:
Created customised A4 job options for each of: Standard Quality, High Quality, Press Quality
Then edited preference for Conversion from Microsoft Word to PDF using new job option 'Standard Quality A4'
PDF created is still in Letter sizing after rebooting machine.
Note: the original Microsoft Word file has a page setup of A4.
What is the best way to make wholesale changes across Adobe CS6 so that millimetres/A4 settings are the default ?
Thank you.

Hi Cre8tiveNess,
You need to set the same preferences in Control Panel > Adobe PDF Printer > Printing preferences.

No data to refresh in BPC clients with Russian regional settings

Hello, colleagues
I hope to get some advices and information about saving data in BPC client computers with non-English regional settings (e.g., decimal point is set ","). Our BPC server has English regional settings.
BPC 7.0, SQL Server 2008. I created new Input Schedule by using standard EVDRE function. And data was not sent to SQL Server after clicking Send and Refresh, I got the message "No data to refresh". I examined hidden sheet EVDRE_DATACACHE and found cells in row A with cache data in XML format. After some experiments I found out that if all data values will be replaced with symbol "S" then all data in the sheet with EVDRE could be saved correctly. I don't know any other methods to make data with decimal point "," to be saved. Also I tried to change members of Measure (Periodic - YTD) but i got the same result.
Thanks for your help.

Actually you have the problem into server.
I think you have the regional settings wrong into server.
We have actually many customers using French, German, Dutch language having "," for decimal separator and it is working fine.
It is not working when actually the settings into the server are not English US.
Please check the follow keys from application server:
HKEY_USERS - .Default - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-18.. - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-19 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-20 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21........ ..- Control Panel - International
These keys should be sett all for english US. If it is at least one not correct that can cause problems with sending data.
Regards
Sorin Radulescu

PWA site template with warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings"

SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows message in yellow "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings."
KB Article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2749599/en-us suggests applying Windows and SharePoint updates, but does not points to a specific update. Also suggests to enable "Always follow
web settings" for affected users who are in different time zone than the server time zone, but it does not work either.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint 2010 (SP2010 SP1+ AU CU 2011) site built with Project Web Access template shows warning "Your Local Machine Time Zone does not match your current Sharepoint Regional Settings".
Users are getting this message even after correctly specifying and changing the timezone in their Sharepoint Settings. This is a common problem across the net, but we've found a workaround
that will eliminate this problem.
Step 1: Open your Web Database in your Browser
Step 2: Click the Arrow Under the Login ID (upper right corner)
Step 3: Choose My Settings
Step 4: Click the My Regional Settings Link
Step 5: Uncheck the 'Always Follow Web Settings' check and specify your time zone.
Step 6: Click OK
For more information, you can refer to:
