Names in common Active Directory tool interfaces in a multilingual environment

$

I have observed (in testing) that if I promote my first domain controller using an English version of Windows server and then the second with the French version, the names of many of the items in ADUC and ADSS retain the English names.

Full détails of my experiment are in this short blog post:

For example, even on the French domain controller (DC4), "Account operators" (and all the other groups) retain the original English name.

On the other hand, in a purely French environment, the names of these groups are indeed translated.

Is this behavior typical?

Would the language of the first domain controller always take precedence?

I'm thinking this could be a challenge if, at first, the domain had only Polish domain controllers and then, the company expanding, domain controllers in based on Windows server in another language were added.

Would admins in the US or UK have the names of the groupes referenced above all in Polish?

 

Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.
