Situation
When attempting to migrate or protect a server with a hostname, domain, or workgroup name using non-English characters the job configuration displays an error:
'The host/Workgroup name has invalid characters'Source server has non-English characters in the hostname, domain name, or workgroup.
Resolution
This is a known issue and must be worked around as follows:
1. Use valid English characters for the hostname, domain, or workgroup.
2. Re-configure the target machine using the desired naming scheme after the migration is complete.
