Hi,

I am trying to write a vbscript to detect the OSLanguage ID that the current system is set to, but currently when I do:

I am always getting 1033 (English), which was the base OS. I am using an MUI image across several servers and some of them use (French, German, Spanish & Japanese) by setting the "Languages" tab from the "Regional and Language Options" in the control panel.

I figured once the MUI OS is set to another language, the OSLanguage that I query will return the associated ID instead of 1033 (English).

Do any of you know of some other property I can query? Thanks in advance.

try this:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colOSes = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOS in colOSes
WScript.Echo "OS Language: " & objOS.OSlanguage
   for each lang in objOS.MUILanguages
       wscript.echo lang
   next
Next

I dont have any language packs installed so it errors out on my machine (at least I assume thats why)

I tried the script, but it errors out after the first wscript.echo for the OSLanguage.

I don't think this piece works:
for each lang in objOS.MUILanguages
wscript.echo lang
next

Also, my goal is to determine the 1 language that the current system is set to, the server image could have MUI packs for multiplelanguages installed.

Any other ideas? Thanks!

Sorry, my misunderstanding. I would assume that what you already had would work then.
