<p>Only Denis knows the exact details, but I expect that all he
did was to have a French version of Windows, installed RSAT,
opened the group policy editor and created a new GPO of that

<pre>Hi, <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>According to Denis, cc'd here, using a French RSAT appears to \
be<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>writing GPT.INI files which are not UTF-8, but instead using \
ISO-8859 to<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>represent accented characters (in the display name for a \
GPO).<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre> <o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>"The gpt.ini file MUST be encoded in UTF-8..." <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>According the the documentation, it is required to be UTF-8, \
so<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>something doesn't quite add up here. Denis can probably \
reconfirm<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>himself, but any assistance reproducing or confirming this \
behaviour<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>would be appreciated. Assuming this is an issue, it's unclear what \
the<o:p></o:p></pre> <pre>effect of other locales is.<o:p></o:p></pre>
