Description

The Copy-UserInternationalSettingsToSystem cmdlet gets the international settings from the current user. You can decide whether to copy these settings into the Welcome screen and system accounts, the New user accounts, or both.

This cmdlet takes two parameters: -WelcomeScreen and -NewUser.

When any of the parameters is set to $True, this cmdlet gets the current values from the current user and copies them to the system settings for the selected options based on the parameters that were set to $True.
