Set Location in Regional Settings by GPO

Hi all,
When I create a new Windows 7 Regional Setting by Group Policy User CSE it's not possible to add a location.
This feature is grey and not possible to change...
Any ideas why...?
Thanks in advance for help
Mike
As an alternative what you could do is create a group policy that changes the registry.
Computer\HCU\Control Panel\International
Lookup sCountry
Below is a screenshot of what you can see:
http://i.gyazo.com/a404d075c7bd3bc67cb9accd27cd6a8d.png
Now if you create a user policy
drill down to User Configuration àPreferences
à Windows Settings
à Registry
Add new Registry Item:
Hive : HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key Path: Control Panel\International
Then only change the Value data to your own country code (in my case Netherlands is 31)
You should see something like this:
http://i.gyazo.com/bef21a88ff59c6d2a8dafe42b6b2176e.png
The full list of country codes can be found here:
http://countrycode.org/ look in the Country Code column
Exception to that list is Canada which is 2, by default it’s set to 1 which is the US
Make sure to use item level targeting or something else to have these settigns applied only to the servers/clients/users that you intend to change.
Hope this helps.

PubCenter shows NoAds Available error no matter what PC Location or Region settings used

pubCenter shows NoAds Available error no matter what PC Location or Region settings used
I've incorporated pubCenter SDK into my app and published it. When testing on device or in simulator, I can't get ads displayed because of the NoAds Available error. I've tested the ads using the test settings but what's the point of the SDK
if it won't display Ads from the real world?

Can you see the test ads fine?
For getting test ads use the following test data
applicationId: 'd25517cb-12d4-4699-8bdc-52040c712cab', adUnitId: '10043107'
If you can see the Test ads fine, it means there is no problem with setup.
When you submit the app, after putting Live ad unit ids and application ids, be assured that your app will get Live Ads.
Refer to the following documentation if you don't see test ads:

How to set *all* of desktop settings with GPO

Using Server 2012 standard with Win 7 32-bit domain members. Client has a custom designed logo that centers on the screen as desired, and I can set this up with GPO, no problems. However, I can't find anywhere in GPO where I can specify the desktop background
color. Does such a setting exist? If so, this sure beats going around to individual computers to set the custom background color so it matches and blends with the logo.

Hi Carl1959,
We can use a combination of a custom theme and group policy preferences to change the
desktopbackground color.
Create your starter theme on your desktop with the settings you want to use and save it. Copy it from c:\users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes to a network share similar to this
\\server\theme_share\AeroStarter.theme. Assign this group policy to the user: User -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Personalization -> Load a Specific Theme and
specify your file location similar to this:
\\server\theme_share\AeroStarter.theme
Assign this group policy preference to the user: User -> Preferences -> Windows Settings -> Registry -> Action: Replace Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key Path: Control Panel\Colors Value:
Background Value type:REG_SZ Value Data:128 64 64 (this is an example of a red
background)
Assign this group policy preference to the user: User -> Preferences -> Windows Settings -> Registry -> Action: Delete Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key Path: Control Panel\Desktop Value: Wallpaper.

Lany Zhang

Firefox does not show numbers in arabic format when the windows regional settings is set to arabic, instead it shows numbers in latin characters

when switching windows regional settings to Arabic, numbers are still shown in Latin characters, unlike other browsers (ex IE).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== all firefox versions

See "bidi.numeral" in http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries#Bidi.
See also http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.2/source/modules/libpref/src/init/all.js#1058
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Set with filter Expirationtime comparison current-datetime does not list members: regional settings?

Hi all;
I've created a criteria-based set that has to filter for users that have an
"expiration Time" "prior to" "today".
xpath filter: /Person[ExpirationTime < fn:current-dateTime()]
I've got one user where I've set a date expired to a week ago.
When I click view members it does not return any results. When I change the logic to
"expiration Time" "after" "today". to see how this logic works, it doesn't return any results either.
I'm working in Belgium, regional settings are d/MM/yyyy H:mm (in 24h format).
My browser language is also set to nl-BE, where FIM actually uses this in the PORTAL field too:
Today in Belgium is 16/09/2014 16:45. But My set returns 0 members.
I've read some articles that FIM needs the format in yyyy/MM/dd format (for import)
Is it correct that FIM Portal doesn't handle this XPATH current-dateTime() function correctly for foreign regional settings?
I've tried to set it current-dateTime("d/MM/yyyy") or other variants, but that gives an error when I'm trying to save.
Kind regards,
David

Hi,
I've checked, the "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" is running, and set to automatic.
I've changed the Local default to "dutch (Belgium)" in the Site settings (it was English (US)):
I've launched iisreset to restart the website.
I've looked at the set, no members. I've validated if the users its date format was OK (and Belgian/European style) => it was.
I've played in the set with the different options (I'm translating as these are in Dutch):
- Prior to 1 day
- Prior to 1 day from today
- Prior to "Tuesday 16 September 2014 0:00:00" (from a calendar control)
- Prior to today
None of these returned any user records :(

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.

T400, Backslash appearing as #, all the regional settings are correct though

hi
I have a T400 laptop, its regional settings are set for english (ireland) and i have also tried the Irish(ireland) settings, but for what ever reason, the Backslash, which is located just above the "enter" key, when pressed brings back the hash# symbol, when pressing shift, it brings back the ~ , and i cannot find the backslash, unless i use charmap.
any ideas on how to sort this issue??
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

just did some more diggin there, under the "Text services and input languages" i have set the "Default input language" as "English(United States)-United States-International.
this has sorted the problem
thanks for all the help and input.

System local V Regional Settings

Guys,
I understand now that the system local on a OS determines the character set used based on the language chosen.
How does this differ from regional settings are they not similiar ?
Thanks

If you are looking for the difference then here you go:
Regional options settings
The Regional
Options tab contains the following settings:
Standards and formats
These are user-specific settings and are stored as part of the user profile.
Location
This is a user-specific setting and is stored as part of the user profile.
Language settings
The Languages tab
contains the following settings:
Default input language
This is a user-specific setting and is stored as part of the user profile.
Installed services
This is a computer-wide setting.

Code Page and System Local settings v regional settings

Hello All
Can someone please clarify exactly what the system local settings are. I thought they are a total of the keyboard settings, plus the decimal formats and the currency signs. However this looks to be part of the regional settings when you check in control
panel.
Also what is the significance of the code page settings. Again I cannot get a clear answer I thought these were language settings defined on the operating system. That are defined at the system level.
Many thanks

DVD set to wrong region and crashes when I try to change it

I'm in Region 2. I only watch Region 2 DVDs, I only want to watch Region 2 DVDs. At Christmas, my DVD player was working fine with Region 2 DVDs. Today I tried to load another Region 2 DVD (for the first time since I updated the OS for the App Store, I don't know if that's relevant) and DVDPlayer tells me I'm set to Region 1, do I want to change?
I have no idea why it thinks its set to Region 1 but yes, I want to change, so I unlock the padlock and select Region 2. DVDPlayer immediately crashes out completely with no changes made. I have tried rebooting, moving the com.apple.dvdplayback.setregion.plist and com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist and all sorts. It still crashes out. I can't find how I'm supposed to know how many region changes I have left, but as far as I'm aware I haven't used any. I get no dialogs warning me of having used any.
Console reports these errors when DVDPlayer crashes:
13/01/2011 22:03:45 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.dvdplayback.setregion[35408]) Exited with exit code: 4
13/01/2011 22:03:45 com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[171] ([0x0-0x30c33c03].com.apple.DVDPlayer[35184]) Exited with exit code: 1
Does anyone know how I can fix this so I can watch my DVDs again?
Thanks

Edit: I have found the DVD I played before Christmas and tried playing that, and that still works. However now that I have a DVD that allows me to keep DVDPlayer open, I have found the Region settings, and it still says that it's Region 1, with 1 Drive change remaining for some reason. The DVD that works is 2+4 PAL UK (Back and forth Region 2 only), as is the DVD that doesn't work.

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.

Regional Settings differences between 2008 and 2012

Hi There,
Can anyone explain why some of the regional setting details have changed with Win 2012?
Example: Dutch (Belgium) - nl-BE
The 'Digital Grouping Symbol' has changed from a DOT to a WHITESPACE.
2008 - €1.000,00 whereas 2012 - €1 000,00
If the settings are changed on the servers will they persist after OS updates etc?
Rgds,
Frank

Hi Vivian,
I see no reference in the KB article to modifications for the CET timezone nor any reference to the resolution of culture format info discrepancies.
A further issue is that the active regional settings on our PRD servers will be set to United States and it would appear that any modification to the Belgium locales (i.e. nl-BE, fr-BE) are not persisted once you switch to United States as the
active setting.
The knock on effect of this is that for our PRD web-applications (which are active across many regions), we have to write code to override the OS information. .NET uses the OS info to populate its Culture information.
Could you confirm if the differences between 2008 and 2012 are the result of a bug or are the changes planned? Based on communication with some of our customers in Belgium, they are of the opinion that the 2008 (and Win 2003) settings are per their expectations.
I really do not what to have to handle these situations across our application landscape and am sure that other people with globalized applications will also hit problems.

BOXI 3.0 - Strange behaviour in infoview regarding regional settings

Requirement: Currency to be shown in Brazil format (##.###,00)
We have a requirement where all financials in reports should be in a Brazil format (##.###,00).
As the report is built in Deski (.rpt) therefore u201CPreferred Viewing Localeu201D setting in infoview will not work (works only for .wdl- webi reports).
We followed below steps in Deski report to meet our requirement:
Tools -> options -> Language -> Unsupported Language -> Portuguese(Brazil)->checked the option u201Dmigration forcedu201D.
It worked perfectly when run in deski.We published the report in infoview but didnu2019t see any change in format, it was still showing us in English(US).For testing purpose we published the copy of same report and could see the changes. But after refreshing few times the formatting got disappeared.
Please help how to get the desired behavior in infoview.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Pallavi

Hi Seb,
Thanks seb.
But the problem is we have reports for country UK,AUS,US ..etc as well in our repository.If we change the regional settings the format will change for these reports too.We want this format only for Brazil reports ..so this solution won't work in our case.
Why is Unsupported Language settings not working in infoview (we have applied this settings in Brazil reports only)...or is there anything that i have missed in settings?
Regards,
Pallavi
