I have a german Windows 2008 R2 with English Multilanguage Pack installed. It has only german, english keyboard defined. It works fine.

I use Windows 7 with PL version and PL keyboard settings. And my customer who logs in to that Windows 2008 R2 uses german Windows 7, Windows XP.

When I login to Windows 2008 R2 it automatically switches keyboard on server to PL (and I can choose between 3 keyboard, however there's no way to remove that PL keyboard). This wouldn't be a big problem but my customer using german windows also see this PL keyboard and it sets itself as default for him too...

Is there a way to make sure only keyboards defined on server works and not those pushed thru RDP?

I would login to the server, go to the Control Panel > Category View, 'Change keyboards or other input methods' and uninstall the PL license from the OS. If you don't actually need to use it, it shouldn't be a problem to uninstall it, right?

I have no way to test this, so I may be off base.

You can work around this using the quick-switch keys to change the input language. By default this is LEFT ALT + SHIFT.

I know about this and i use it frequently. The problem is with my customer who doesn't want to switch every time .. He is at his own backyard and shouldn't need to switch anything. – MadBoy Apr 29 '11 at 7:33
