Encoding issue when using Native CMD Command from

Question

When Executing native cmd command from powershell, e.g net view \\192.168.1.x I get the following results which non-English chars shown as ???? :

AntEater          Disk
AntEater_Eab      Disk
HP  M4345 ?????   Print           HP  M4345 ?????
Letters           Disk
SMSCenter         Disk
temp              Disk
Users             Disk
????? ??? ??????  Print           ????? ??? ??????
The command completed successfully.

if I run chcp 862 I get the following results (on the console):

AntEater_Eab      Disk
HP  M4345 הנהחש   Print           HP  M4345 הנהחש

temp              Disk
Users             Disk
מדפסת             Print           

Which is fine, but when I try to save it to a variable or export it to a file:

$temp = net view \\192.168.1.x
$temp

temp              Disk
Users             Disk
????? ??? ??????  Print           ????? ??? ??????

the results are wrong again,

I've already tried:

net view \\192.168.1.x | Out-File C:\temp.txt -Encoding Unicode
cmd /c 'chcp 862 && net view \\192.168.1.x' | Out-File C:\temp.txt -Encoding Unicode
cmd /c 'chcp 862 && net view \\192.168.1.x > c:\temp.txt'
cmd /u /c 'chcp 862 && net view \\192.168.1.x > c:\temp.txt'

and much more really...

The Issue shown as well when running net view \\192.168.1.x | Out-String

The same results are whether I run it from CMD or PowerShell

Do you know the behavior? how can I save the correct output to a variable or file?

Answer 1

After changing the "language for non-Unicode programs" in the control panel, the problem solved, thanks for your help...

Run intl.cpl and select the Adminstrative tab.
