Language icon on taskbar

[Guest Asif Shah]

Hello. I am using TS 2000 server. I have setup the regional settings to

switch between English and Japanese. However, those settings dont show up for

all users. Only I have the language icon on the taskbar. For other users, I

have to go and add it manually for each user. I know in XP there is an option

to make this change for all users. Does 2000 have the same option somewhere?

Thanks.

One option would be to use regshot to figure out what registry setting

controls this setting, then apply the registry setting via logon script.

 

Regshot is a freeware utility that you run before and after you make a

change, and it shows you what changed in the registry.

 

This tool is invaluable for such tasks.

 

The other option would be to utilize the Shadow Key to propogate the change,

i.e. logon as a new administrator account (one that's never loaded a profile

on that TS before), switch to install mode (change user /install), make the

change, switch to execute mode (change user /execute). Whatever you did is

tracked in:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal

Server\Install

 

Anything in this key with a newer timestamp than what is in HKCU is

automatically propogated when users logon.

 

Always make sure you make system and registry backups before attempting any

such changes on a production system.

I will start with the second option. Now shoud the new admin account log in

to the server itself or login via a terminal session and do the task?

I tried to login as a new admin via a terminal session and did the changes

and it didnt work. I even logged in as the local admin on the server itself

(not via a terminal session) and made the change and that didnt work either.

Seems like you have to log on as the user and make the change manually. There

should be a way to progate this to all users.

Did you try using regshot to identify the registry entries that you need to

import? This is a very simple tool to use, as is applying the registry

settings via logon script.

I really dont wanna do this via login script. I just want to limit this

change to a terminal server that I am having issues with. Anything else I can

do? Anything locally on the server I can do?

You still need to identify what to change.
