Preset the language for OMA users

Imagine that you have a bunch of OMA users who don’t use English as their native language. Wouldn’t it be nice to set the default OMA language that they see when they log on, without making them learn enough English to navigate OMA’s interface and set it themselves?


Exchange MVP Richard Matheisen posed this question, and it turns out to have a surprisingly simple answer. Just set the msExchEmbCultureInfo attribute on the root folder of the user’s mailbox to the LCID of the language you want that user to have for OMA, and you’re done. (Updated to fix my bug; I’d originally said that this attr was on the mailbox, and it’s not.)
