Setting Default Keyboard Locale in WinPE for MDT

Steps to Modify bootstrap.ini

1. Open the Deployment Workbench

Open the MDT Deployment Workbench on your deployment server.

2. Locate the bootstrap.ini File

Navigate to the `Control` folder within your deployment share. The `bootstrap.ini` file is located in this folder.

3. Edit the bootstrap.ini File

Open the `bootstrap.ini` file in a text editor and add the following line under the `[Settings]` section:

[Settings]
Priority=Default
[Default]
KeyboardLocalePE=040c:0000040c

This sets the keyboard layout to French (locale ID 040c) in the WinPE environment.

4. Update the Deployment Share

After modifying the `bootstrap.ini` file, you need to update the deployment share to apply the changes to the WinPE images.

In the MDT Deployment Workbench, right-click on the deployment share and select Update Deployment Share. Choose the option to completely regenerate the boot images to ensure the changes are included.
