Hi Guys,

I want to change regional settings post-Windows Server Provisioning, namely “ **Display language** ” and “ **Input Language** ” for a) Current User, b) Welcome Screen, and c) New user to **“English Australia”**

 ![Regional-Settings.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/3/3c6f5552ce7070a31269effbf9649ec164024c76.jpeg)

I have the below module, unfortunately, it does not changes them to English - Australia, it keeps the default value to the **English United States** may I know what additional things do I need to add?

`

- name: install features on new Azure Windows Server  
hosts: all  
gather\_facts: yes  
tasks:
- name: Set timezone to ‘A.U.S. Eastern Standard Time’ (GMT+10:00)  
win\_timezone:  
timezone: E. Australia Standard Time
- name: Set the region format to English Australia and copy settings to new profiles  
win\_region:  
location: 12  
format: en-AU  
copy\_settings: True  
unicode\_language: en-AU  
register: result
- win\_reboot:  
when: result.restart\_required

`

Kindly assist.

Thank you very much.
