Problem Installing WHS2011 with a French Keyboard

If you are installing WHS 2011 and have a French keyboard, then the keyboard layout may be incorrectly changed to that of an English keyboard.

To resolve this problem you will need to manually change the keyboard layout to French on the language bar by performing the following steps on the server itself by using Remote Desktop or by opening the Dashboard, Server Settings, General tab then the Change button next to “Region and language of administrator” :

1. On the Language bar, click the Input language button, and then select an input language.
2. Click the Keyboard layout button, and then select a keyboard layout.

Note: If you don’t see the Language bar, right-click the taskbar, point to Toolbars, and then click Language bar.
