Environment
NetIQ AppManager Enterprise 9.1
Situation
Discovery_NT jobs fail with cannot find objects when it is run against a Windows Agent, on servers with Chinese locale settings.
Resolution
This issue can be corrected by changing the value of the hidden PRM_REENCODE parameter of the Knowledge Script to Y (for Yes), which re-encodes the
Discovery XML to ANSI and allows for the Discovery_NT job to run
successfully and Discover Windows objects correctly.
To apply this change please perform the following steps:
1. Check out the Discovery_NT KS and open it in the Developers Console.
