I have been asked to install Japanese on all the computers at the school I work at so that kids are able to type their assignments out using Japanese characters. I can do this by hand on my computer by enabling the Japanese keyboard under "Keyboards and Languages" "Change Keyboards" "Add" and add the new keyboard. This then enables the language bar and I can then toggle between English and Japanese by pressing "Alt" + "Shift" and then "Alt" + "~" to toggle between the Japanese character sets. The computers are running either Windows XP Pro or Windows 7 enterprise and group policy preferences are install onto all computers. How can I go about deploying/installing/enabling Japanese keyboard onto multiple computers so users are able to use Word and type in Japanese characters? Thanks

Hi, Do you have a Windows server machine in your network environment? Are you in a domain environment? Based on your description, if you want to deploy computers via Group Policy Preference, I suggest you go to Windows Sever forum: Windows Server Forums Hope it helps.
