customize and sysprep workflow, how to have windows default to non-english

[FreddyFredFred]

I have Windows vms with two language packs installed (english and a second language). Currently when I use the vRO customize and sysprep workflow (I copied it and make a couple small tweaks) and everything is working fine and it defaults the OS to English.

Is there a way to change the answer file that vRO provides so it defaults to the other language installed in my template?

I found a sysprep.inf file under Resources > Library > vCenter but I can't figure out how this is called. I'm guessing I can import a new copy and adjust the language code in there and then adjust my workflow but can't figure out how.

Anyone know?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you use "customization specification manager" with your worlflow ?

Thanks,

Not sure. I like how I just feed in a few basic things (and optionally network info) and vRO magically does the rest. I don't see any sample working trying to use a  saved customization spec so I'm not really sure how to do it. I seem to recall an issue with using saved  specs in the past so I tend to prefer this method. From what I can tell, if there was a way for me to target a different sysprep.inf file I could add just 1 parameter (or set of parameters) to allow me to pass in the locale as some of the other values already have placeholders.
