I am working on a bilingual VDI solution and I'm kind of stuck trying to figure out this thing....
Here's what I'm dealing with:
- Windows 7 MUI to support both french and english.
- Application requires COMPUTER registry keys to be changed depending on the MUI language selected.
- Users wanting french desktops by default are members of a domain global group.
So what I need is to have the french COMPUTER registry keys applied to the desktop ONLY if the users are members of the french users group.
I am using loopback processing (i.e. the GPO is applied to the OU where the virtual desktops are created by VMware View).
If I use security filtering:
- to the user group only, the GPO doesn't apply.
- to domain computers, the GPO applies to everybody, even non french desktop users.
I was thinking of applying the GPO to domain computers, but use WMI filtering to narrow it down to group members only.
Is that the best/only way to do it? I have never done WMI filtering, I don't know how to find which field/variables to look for...
Thanks for your assistance,
Marc
