We have 2 different ISO that were used to install Windows 10:
SW_DVD9_Win_Pro_10_1909_64BIT_French_Pro_Ent_EDU_N_MLF_X22-17398 and SW_DVD9_Win_Pro_10_1909_64BIT_FrenchCanadian_Pro_Ent_EDU_N_MLF_X22-17399
We want to eliminate the FrenchCanadian version so we need a way to find out where it was installed. We use SCCM so if we could have a query to populate a collection with the computers running the FrenchCanadian version, that would be the best. Could also use PowerShell to run scripts on every computer if that's necessary.
Thanks
1Hello and welcome here! Did you think about running the Get-WinSystemLocale in powershell? Those with the French Canadian iso will have the FR-CA locale. (LCID 3084) – Natsu Kage – 2020-01-24T17:21:12.107

Was just about to suggest what @NatsuKage mentioned. Here is a link to the relevant docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/international/get-winsystemlocale?view=win10-ps
– MC10 – 2020-01-24T17:22:17.553Hi and thank you Natsu Kage. I did in fact run Get-WinSystemLocale in PowerShell on both versions and they come out with the same information: Fr-CA (LCID 3084). It probably comes from the fact that we selected the Fr-CA language on both versions at install. So unfortunately, that command is of no use to tell them apart now. – SuperduperPackager – 2020-01-24T17:51:03.753
Ok. I thought you wanted to use the French locale only. You can try [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version or systeminfo and see if they give a different result. source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7330187/how-to-find-the-windows-version-from-the-powershell-command-line/7330368
– Natsu Kage – 2020-01-24T17:58:19.607Ultimately we want to use the Fr-CA locale on the French ISO installations only. So we need to get rid of the FrenchCanadian ISO installations. You would think that once you select the Fr-CA locale on both ISO, they end up being the same, but no. There's a difference between the French and the FrenchCanadian ISO installations even when both are configured to use the Fr-CA locale. I tried [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version and systeminfo and it doesn't seem to give me exactly what I need to differenciate them easily. – SuperduperPackager – 2020-01-24T18:17:22.840
1It appears that
Get-ComputerInfo -Property "WindowsBuildLabEx"
should contained the value you are looking for. – Ramhound – 2020-01-24T18:37:08.810No sorry, that command gives the exact same result on both versions. – SuperduperPackager – 2020-01-24T18:42:38.667

Get-ComputerInfo -Property "OsLanguage"
seems to do the trick though. It returns Fr-FR or Fr-CA depending on which ISO was used for installation. Thanks for suggesting Get-ComputerInfo Ramhound, it led me to find the solution. – SuperduperPackager – 2020-01-24T18:51:21.730
