When using the international variant of the Windows ISO and configuring the unattended settings to match Australia and the US keyboard layout (Windows localization, WindowsPE), the deployment proceeds smoothly for both user-initiated and pre-provisioned scenarios, seamlessly enrolling into Intune without any hitches.
However, the issue emerges when a wipe is triggered from Intune, prompting the device to rebuild itself. Post rebuild and during OOBE, when the user is prompted to sign in, the keyboard defaults to UK layout instead of the expected US layout. Consequently, certain keys are misplaced, causing issues entering their credentials.
This issue stems from the fact that the unattended setup runs only once, and the operating system defaults to the UK keyboard layout due to using en-GB for the UI Language to get the en-au Australian localization since there is no fully localized Australian language.
Seeking a creative method to leverage NTLite to enforce the keyboard setting prior to OOBE following an Intune-initiated wipe.
