WINPE User & Keyboard Locale with MDT 2013 & Windows 8.1

Hi

I'm using MDT 2013 to deploy win8.1 (ADK 8.1 installed and so on) but I'm having trouble to set the keyboard layout when the Wizard (hta) is loaded.

We are serving multiple countries so different keyboard settings need to be pushed for our operators when they go through the Wizard in boot.wim/PE phase.

I opened up the boot.wim file that is generated when you update the deloyment share and generate the litetouch boot iso.

In there I see that a basic unnattend.xml is being used which specifies the 0409:0000409 (en-US) locale.

I was under the impression that if we made different Task sequences with their own unnattend.xml we could set the WINPE locale in the WINPE phase via the amd64_xxxx_WINPE_Neutral_xxxx component but it doesn't seem to work that way.

I know you can provide  a locale in bootstrap.ini but that's a general setting forall deployments ...

Anyone any ideas?

My next step would be to add skipbdewelcome screen in bootstrap.ini and then have some sections in the customsettings.ini (bound to gateway or site or whatever) to set LOCALEs  in there ....
