Hi, I am just curious why you want to stop supporting foreign OS and if that will bring you some grief in the long term? Do any other universities do so? We have been supporting Internal students and getting them online via Cisco Clean Access. I am sure most of universities have a lot of international student body. Currently we don't have any foreign OS system we need to exempt from CAM. We don't see many of them except more Japanese systems because they use different AV than what we require. If they have issues connecting to our network, they visit our office and we are able to get them online. Even though my student can't read Japanese or Chinese, usually between a few student staff, they are able to find ways to get foreign OS connected.

The key you are looking for is "InstallLanguage." Some values that you might want to check for are: 0409 - United States 0809 - United Kingdom 1009 - Canada There are many other English identifiers for different countries. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776260.aspx for a more complete listing. This key exists on my XP and Vista machines so it should work for both. I have not implemented this so I strongly urge you to give it some adequate testing.
