Thanks to DreamensioN for pointing this out..

If you are looking to deploy Windows using an unattended installation file, and you want to set the locale to en-AU – there are some incorrect entries on the MS websites for the codes to be used for en_au in the unattend files..

In both locations Australia is listed as 0c09:00000409 but it should be 0c09:00000C09 (so the 409 at the end is incorrect – that is the correct entry for US not AU)

Cheers
