As a QWERTY user one thing that has been bothering for a long time when deploying a Mac via ADE is the following: 

On a macOS device with a QWERTY keyboard I start the macOS Setup Assistant:

  1. I choose ‘Nederlands’ as the language

     

  2. I choose ‘België’ as the country
  3. Ok, keyboard layout seems fine…

Fast forwarding to the Jamf Connect Login window:

WTF? Belgian keyboard layout again? Ok, I change it to ‘Nederlands’ again. Sure this will be fine now.

After authenticating… Aaarrgh, again on Belgian keyboard layout 😠

 

Did you guys came across this issue? And how do you handle this?

This seems to be a firmware thingy. Can you check if you run the command below the qwerty keyboard layout remains?
 

sudo nvram "7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82:prev-lang:kbd=nl:26"
