Windows OS Deployment Does Not Work When OS Chooser Directory Name and RIS Server Language Are Different (6400419)

The RIS server assumes that you have files in a language path which is the same as the RIS server's OS language. To provision a Windows OS which is not the same as the RIS server's OS language, you need to do some additional configuration.

Workaround: Copy the other language's files to the English path.

1. Go to the directory in which the OS Chooser files live.

   For example:

   % cd RemoteInstall\OSChooser

2. Copy the files from the language directory to an English directory.

   For example:

   % copy -r Japanese English

This creates a directory RemoteInstall\OSChooser\English that contains the install screens in the native language. When the RIS software looks into the default English path, it will display the non-English OS Chooser screens during install.

The above workaround is for English RIS server to deploy a non-English Windows image. When you use a non-English RIS server to deploy a English Windows image, type:

% copy -r English <language>
