Server's default language changed to French

-

i have 3 windows server 2003 terminal servers set in mui environment.  3 servers in same ou in ad loopback gpo linked it.  linked user-based gpo ou setting "restrict selection of windows menus , dialogs language > restrict users following language " set "french " , filtered gpo apply group of french user accounts.  gpo works , good.  french user accounts french ts mui , other accounts english ts mui.  problem ever since linked gpo ou, 1 of 3 servers defaults french before user logs in.  example, if rdp server or login on console, ctrl+alt+del login prompt in french.  if log in english user account, mui changes english after logon , mui changes french french user accounts after logon, default before logging in user accounts french.  also, if english user account gets os related error message, it's in french too.  other 2 servers language prior login english, 1 server has somehow changed french.  how can change back?

i followed instructions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924852/en-us , tried going regional , language options and checked box called "apply settings current user account , default user profile ", rebooted server, still defaulting french.  checked registry entry "hkey_current_user\control panel\international\locale " set 409, english.

i'm out of ideas.  ideas why have happened or more importantly, how fix it?

thanks,

hi ryan,

 

thank posting here.

 

according description, understand 1 of server's default language changed french.

 

based on experience, assume issue might caused group policy setting "restrict users following language". please perform steps below narrow down issue.

 

1.     logon english user account on server.

2.     run command "rsop.msc" verify whether english user account applied policy "restrict users following language".

3.     if so, can temporarily move server ou without language specific policy.

4.     run "gpupdate /force" refresh group policy.

5.     check if default language has been changed english.

6.     move server ts ou. how work?

 

meanwhile, please check whether following kb addresses issue.
