Create a UK based image for VMs

Hello, 
We are trying to install an application which requires a UK (en-GB) locale, however have not had much success in trying the default images, then converting them to UK regional settings (via group policy, copy settings..." function in Region and
Languages or via the registry).
Given we can't get the out-of-the-box images working, we have turned to creating the basic VM locally stating with UK settings, then uploading the image.
We assume that once sysprep has been run and the image provisioned within Azure, the locale will be configured to US.  Based on this, we are trying to use unattended.xml to set everything to UK settings, so the machine never is configured to US at any
stage.  On doing so, the provisioning eventually fails.  Reading around the subject, articles state to delete unattended.xml and other articles state that the unatteneded.xml can conflict.
The question is: Can certain settings be placed in the unattended.xml and if so, can the regional settings be placed here (does anyone have a successful example file used in Azure)?
If the unattended.xml can not be used to achieve this, can anyone suggest (ideally with detailed steps) how we can achieve a VM with UK based regional settings (not just a US one which we then try to update via registry or the "copy settings..."
function in Region and Languages)?
With thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Azure uses an unnatend.xml file as part of the deployment process for new VMs. Currently it is not possible to upload your own unnatend.xml file
to choose roles, features of settings to be added during deployment.
I recommend you to submit your requirement in the link below:

  • Creating a USB boot image for LabviewRT

    I have installed Labview 8.2 and the "update 8.2.1" for Labview RT Standard version from the web.
    I am trying to create a bootable image for a target Laptop PC, using a USB jump drive.
    When I run NI-MAX and select TOOLS->RT Disk Utilities->Create Desktop PC Utility USB Drive, a popup dialog appears that says:
       "This utility will reformat a USB drive with a Labview Real-Time boot USB utility for use with a USB boot-capable Desktop PC. Make sure the USB drive is connected to your computer before you continue.
        Do you want to use this utility?"
    Clicking on Yes, shows a dialog selection window, with a single entry ="Version 8.2", and an OK and Cancel button.
    Selecting the OK button, shows an error popup titled: Measurement & Automation Explorer" with text="Unable to detect USB drives"
    The jump drive is 32MB and is visible in WINDOWS Explorer.
    WHY will NI-MAX not see or use this jump-drive ?
    ( I have tried two different jump drives from two different manufacturers)

    Hello,
    Does your jump drive conform to the USB Mass Storage Device Class?  What drive letter are you using?  Did you create it by running the command line utility "subst"?
    Have you tried doing this on a different computer?  Are the USB ports 1.1 or 2.0?

    System Image Utility only makes images of the system it ships with.
    In order to make Lion images, you'll need to install the Server Admin Tools for Lion onto a Lion system. You will then find the appropriate System Image Utility in /Applications/Server/.

  • How can I create a single background image for a BorderLayout?

    I can create a background with an image file for the individual panel (North, West, Center, East and South) in a BorderLayout, but I've been spinning my wheel for a long while now trying to figure out how to create just one background with a single image file for all of these panels?
    In my application, a panel may contain various buttons, a listbox, a group of checkboxes, a combo box, or a canvas. Even if I used the same image file, when the panels are finally put together, one can clearly see that the end product is the result of a lot of patch works.
    Hope someone has an answer for this. BTW, I'm using AWT because it works with existing browsers without the need for a separate Java plug-in.

  • Aperture creating new version of image for each adjustment applied!

    To anyone out there who can sort this one out, I will be forever grateful!
    Here's the problem. I'll be jamming away in Aperture, adjusting photos like a madman. After adjusting a random number of photos (it usually varies between 5-30 photos or so after starting Aperture each time), the adjustments panel will no longer update when I click on a new image (i.e. it holds the info from the last image I adjusted and will continue to apply new adjustments to that last image even if another image is highlighted). If I switch to the metadata panel and then back to adjustments it will refresh itself and recognize the currently selected image (although I have to do this for EACH image I want to adjust once it starts acting up like this). The BIG problem is that even if I get the adjustments panel to recognize the selected image at this point, for EACH adjustment I apply it makes a new version of the image. For example, if I first change the contrast, it will make Version 2 of the image and select it (which is what it's supposed to do for the first adjustment, because I have "create new versions when making adjustments" checked in my preferences), but if I then make another adjustment like changing the saturation, it makes Version 3 of the image (from the master, so that only the saturation adjustment is applied and not the contrast adjustment). As you can imagine, this utterly destroys my once incredibly efficient Aperture workflow and makes it pretty much impossible to use Aperture for adjustments unless I turn off "create new versions when making adjustments" in the preferences, at which point it does seem to work again (although I've only tried it on a few images, so not 100% sure it will work properly even then). If I restart Aperture (or my computer), it will work normally again for a few pictures and then will start acting up again with the same problem.
    Originally I was running into this problem on my PowerBook G4, and so I figured it was just because Aperture didn't like my wussy G4 processor and was acting up when the load got too heavy (after all, the adjustments would work fine for up to 30 images or so). However I recently purchased a sexy iMac 24" 2.8 GHz and maxed out the RAM to 4GB, but I'm still getting the same darned problem with Aperture on my iMac. Yes, I'm using the same library of photos I was using on my PowerBook G4.
    This problem has been plaguing me for about 3 months now (everything else in Aperture works fine so I'm still using it to import and organize my photos, I just haven't been able to make adjustments on large groups of pictures for a while), and I've searched and searched these forums countless times to see if anyone has run into similar problems, but I've not seen a single mention of it. I've also tried EVERYTHING mentioned for similar problems (rebuilding library, vacuuming database, erasing com.apple.aperture.plist preference file, repairing permissions, reinstalling Aperture, making burnt offerings to Steve Jobs), and NOTHING is working. ARRGH!!
    For those who might have some words of wisdom to offer this delighted-***-miserably frustrated Aperture user, here are a few more details about my setup:
    I have a library of about 37,000 photos, the vast majority of them being RAW .CRW files from a Canon 10D. The 25GB library file is stored on my internal hard drive, and all photos are referenced from an external LaCie 500GB FireWire 400 hard drive. I have a LOT of export plug-ins installed in Aperture, but no image adjustment plugins. I have generated previews turned off for all projects. I've had the same problem on both my PowerBook G4 and new iMac 24" 2.8 GHz. One other thing worth mentioning is that instead of upgrading from 2.1 (which was already giving me this problem) to 2.1.2, I downloaded the full version of 2.1.2 and installed it. I noticed that my 2.1 Aperture.app file was less than 100MB, whereas the 2.1.2 Aperture.app file is over 300MB. Don't know if that's normal or not.
    The only other thing I can think of to try at this point is to load a new library into Aperture and import a large group of pictures and make adjustments to them to potentially see if my problem is being caused by Aperture or by the library. Will probably try that tomorrow.
    I would appreciate any advice or feedback anyone can offer about this nasty little problem, as it's giving me a serious hormonal imbalance.
    THANKS!

    Thanks for the reply RB, but my current workflow depends on me creating new versions when I make adjustments. I suppose as a temporary solution I will probably have to either turn this preference off or just be willing to constantly restart Aperture. At least I finally found another thread with the same problem, so finally I don't feel completely alone in the far reaches of the Aperture universe. For anyone who is interested, here is the link to that thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8555067
    It appears this problem is closely related to the ubiquitous black viewer problem that seems to be plaguing far more users than my issue (although I've run into the black viewer problem a few times myself), as both problems force Aperture to output the following message to Console:
    Main Thread Exception in Aperture: * -NSCFArray objectAtIndex:: index (1) beyond bounds (1)
    It seems that both of these problems existed in Aperture 1 and 1.5 up until the 1.5.6 upgrade which seems to have fixed it, but then with Aperture 2 the problem seems to have returned. At least that's the gist of what I've been reading on a number of threads. Whatever the case, I hope Apple gets this sorted out in their next update!
    As it appears there is no proper answer to this problem at the moment, I'm gonna go ahead and mark this thread answered (and since you were kind enough to at least take the time to reply RB, you can be credited with the answer... thanks!).

  • Creating a custom boot image for Mavericks

    Hello Apple Community!
    I realize that this question might have been asked a few times already, but I found nothing using the search function (nothing that satisfied me, that is).
    My task is simple: We have several different Macs at the office (Mostly MacBook Airs and Pros, some iMacs too) and whenever a new employee join us, I need to install all the software for that person. That is a bit of a cumbersome and repetitive process, so I wanted to know if and how it would be possible to create custom, universally working (i.e. on all different models that we're using at our institute) disk images that contain all the preinstalled software packages that we're using....
    We are using Mavericks ATM, but we will migrate to Yosemite eventually (though not until I stop hearing people complain about Yosemite's apparent random bugs).
    Is there a guide to this somewhere? Would someone please point out where I could find such information?
    Thank you guys.

    I created my own simply by installing OS X on an external USB drive then booting into that drive, setting up just an Administrator account, installing all the software I needed and set it aside.
    If I ever need to reinstall OS X, I boot into the USB's Recovery HD and run Disk Utility's Restore function pointing my Source to the USB drive and Destination to the Mac's internal drive.

  • Disk Utility - create ISO Data DVD image for burning?

    Which are the exact options in Disk Utility that I need to select, in order to create an ISO DVD Data image that will be readable by PCs and Macs alike?
    I have looked on the web and in the help but am none the wiser due to lack of an explanation of the options
    Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled),...,MS-DOS (FAT)
    Partitions:Single partition - Apple Partition Map,...,Single Partition CD/DVD with ISO data
    If you cannot point me in the direction of some decent documentation, please just tell me which options I need to select to create an ISO Data DVD
    Thanks

    Try this link.
    Basically, you can drag a folder into the list on the left. Then, with the folder selected, click New Disk Image from the toolbar at the top (not sure of the exact wording, but it's something along those lines). Make sure to select ISO from the pop-up menu.
    Also try this article to convert a DMG to ISO.

  • Creating a flag based formula for Dimension

    Greetings everyone,
    Hopefully this is simple answer.  I have two dimensions "A" and "B" and a measure "C", where "B" is many to one attribute of "A", I would like to create a Flag formula in context that can characterise if a certain attribue of "B" is within "A".
    For example:
    "A"                "B"        "C"                          "MY FLAG"
    ABC              123           12.31                        Y
    BCD              123           10.54                        Y
    BCD              104         107.83                        Y
    BCD              105           11.32                        Y
    DCE               101           11.30                       N
    DCE               102           11.54                       N
    DCE               125           12.00                       N
    Pseudo Formula "MY FLAG" = If  ("B" InList ("104";"123")  In "A") "Y";"N")  - however this formula creates "#multivalue" error. 
    Would like to use this flag as global indicator for other tables/ reports. 
    Regards,
    Damian

    What if  you try using a max or min function in your formula?
    = Max(  If  (<b> InList ("104";"123")  In [A]) "Y";"N")  )  
    Does it show the rigth results?

  • How to create a complete new image for Satellite A100 PSAA9E ?

    My Satellite A100 PSAA9E is so incredible slow that I think the only option is to uninstall everything. Mean how can I restore my laptop to its original condition inlc. latest driver units.
    best regards,
    stef

    Hi,
    Before making a new installation you can clean your system using software like TuneUp utilities. it's shareware but you can use it free for a month. It cleans the registry, removes duplicated files, and...
    If you want to restore to it's original condition, use recovery disks or Hdd recovery image (Pressing F8 on startup). If you didn't burn and hdd recovery image gone, you can order from Toshiba for money or get windows copy for installation (all the drivers you can find on Toshiba driver page)

  • Creating Pillarboxed 4:3 images for 16:9 DVD Output

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm creating a DVD (NTSC) (non broadcast) with 16:9 tracks and 4:3 tracks (not mixed within the same track). My higher priority is on the 16:9 material, and my audience will likely be watching on 16:9 TVs. Still, I don't want the 4:3 material to be stretched. Even designating the 4:3 tracks as such in DVDSP it still stretches on my set top player and household 16:9 TV, so I'm assuming that the best option would be to pillarbox the 4:3 stuff.
    I already attempted to create a pillarbox in FCP 6, but the results were pretty bad. My source material is all interlaced video of different codecs, 10-bit uncompressed, ProRess HQ, and DV / DVCPRO. The worst of it was the DV / DVCPRO stuff -- the resolution was degraded, and the video stuttered in places.
    The way I attempted to create a pillarbox was to take my 4:3 edited clips and put them into a sequence with the following specs:
    1) For DV / DVDPRO footage: Target frame Size 864 x 486, Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC - CCIR 601, Codec is DV / DVDPRO. My source footage is 720 x 480 NTSC DV, same Pixel Aspect Ratio. Frame rate is 29.97 for source and target. In the Motion tab (under distort) I changed the Aspect ratio to 12.5.
    I then used Andy's Letterbox to create a pillarbox matte -- thank you Andy, if you are reading this!
    Are my problems caused by the change in vertical resolution (by 6 pixels)? Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance.

    when you setup DVD SP the first time it asked what your defaults are. But once that's been done you set in three places. The last being the encoding for those times a file is dropped into DVD SP and it does the encoding.

  • Creating objects from traced image for video

    I want to take the traced star (and maybe the text) to use in a video project. I need to make individual objects that I can fill and animate in AE or Premiere. Is Illustrator the right app to use? And where is a tutorial on how this is done?

    Alex,
    The star is made of rather simple parts, and an obvious solution would be to recreate it using some of the Tools in the Rectangle Tool group and possibly the Pen Tool.
    For the text, the easiest way would be to use the Type Tool; you may use similar fonts amng the countless ones available, or look for the exact font at sites like
