📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses configuring different system locales for each user on Windows Server 2016. The original poster notes that, unlike in Windows Server 2012, they cannot find options to set regional settings per user using Group Policy, leading to confusion about how to achieve this. A responder clarifies that regional settings are typically system-wide, but the original poster insists it’s possible (as per an article) and seeks a solution for Windows Server 2016.

We would like to set a different system local for each user, on windows 2016.

I was expecting to find it (like in server 2012) using the Group Policy -> user configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Regional and Languages Options.
But seems I do not see the Regional Options.

Tried also using the below link

Any suggestions, what I am missing ?

That's because it's a system wide setting. Beside a machine resides in one region at a time, so it doesn't make sense to change it per user.

Yet, it is possible , as you can see from the above article for 2012.

So the question remains the same, how can do it in 2016?
