hi, i have couple of hundreds of xpe sp2 run time being deploy on site and
running for 6 months... no there's a last minute additional requirement to
add additional languages to the image....

now we are adding it using remote desktop and use the regional control panel
(thank god i'd include that..) to add additional languages support and pull
the nessasary files from a network share.. and the process is long and
tedious..

the challange : the device has no media/input (cd rom/floppy mouse/keyboard
etc) attached..., no bootrom, wall mounted... , 100 base network is
available.

any one has a idea on how to automate this process without having to update
all the runtime images.... ?

thanks.
 
zen,

How about running unattended setup for Regional Settings on all machines remotely?
Read more about how to use unattended setup with intl.cpl.

E.g., the command you can launch is
rundll32.exe shell32,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,/f:"c:\regopts.txt"

You will be responsible for creating regopts.txt file and either copying it locally on devices or pulling from network.

To launch command line remotely you can use psexec from Sysinternal.com or similar.
 
thanks KM, i'll give it a shot...
