Scenario
Regional settings such as currency, date/time format, and numbers are user profile-based.
In a Terminal Server/Citrix environment, users from different regions may want to retain their client-side regional settings when logging on to the server.
To set up the correct regional settings, log on to the Citrix server, select
Start >
Control Panel >
Regional Settings. Set the correct setting and log off so the setting is written to the user’s profile.
If users do not have access to the full desktop and are limited to initial or published applications, it is necessary to use a different method.
Method 1
This method sets the users’ regional options at logon by script:
- 1. Create global groups based upon the users’ desired regional setting.
2. Create a test user for each global group.
3. Log on to the Citrix server with that test user and make appropriate changes within the regional options.
4. Export the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International.
5. Create a script (How to use Regini.exe to modify HKEY_CURRENT_USER) and call it Usrlogon.cmd.
6. When users log on to the Citrix server, they will inherit the regional settings based upon their group membership.
Method 2
This method allows you to publish the regional options GUI. This allows users to set their regional settings without full access to the server desktop:
