To Change Langauge for specific user in OS

Need to Use Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US to Change Language  for specific user

Can we push it remotely for specific local users on servers not in domain in silent mode

When we run it locally steps are  >Command Prompt -Type PowerShell  and hit Enter-Then Run Command -Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -Will Ask for Y to Press

Can we get this in some script to push on remote computers in one go or if changes can be reflectedd in first login -as it is asking to log off and login again ?

To remove the confirmation prompt, there is the parameter -force.

By the way, using that command does not ask me to log off, if I try it (no matter which language I choose).

Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -force  ,but still asking for confirmation ?

 and language only reflect after doing log off and login ? - can we get this updated in same session ?
Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -force executed on what OS? Here, on win10 ir works silently, so it could be that your older OS does not use -force, but rather -confirm:$false

I noticed that although I was not notified to logoff, I still have to to make it change, so please scratch that part.

I am using server 2016, too.
Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -force

Open in new window

just works. But we cannot skip logoff and logon again - that is not working without.

powershell -command Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -force
is working fine from Run

Can we run the same for specific user ?
You can configure domain logon scripts within GPOs that you link to OUs with users and on which you impose security filtering so that only those users are affected that you define, yes.
