Batch Dos Unicode compatibility

[darioit]

Batch Dos is Compatible with unicode, because on windows server 2008 R2 it's seems that ignore my region setting

I think it's something related on language non-unicode than this setting are different from language format

Anyone could explain better this problem

I'm not sure what you mean, but some of the technicalities are:

Where command prompt does not support unicode:
-Trying to read any unicode from a text file in any mode or context (such as for, type, or redirection), though maybe with a specifically programmed external utility, it might be possible. I don't know of any that exist.

Where command prompt supports unicode:
-When scripts are initialized by Windows, arguments passed retain unicode.
-Input typed by the user.
-Redirecting output to a file with cmd /u (UTF16-LE, or "Unicode" as Notepad refers it specifically).
-Despite command prompt being unable to read unicode from a text file, commands can match paths where ? have replaced unicode characters, such as dir and for /d, which can then be used to retrieve the unicode characters (with the right scripting).

because I have a new Server 2008 R2 in English language
Old server is windows 2003 SP2 in English language

The regional setting are all in italial, like date and also program non-unicode

When I connect with remote user to old server (2003) with a user pippo, my script start in italian
When I connect with remote user to new server (2008) with a user pippo, my script start in english

My script start in italian on new server (2008) only if I have already that user logged on

This is strange, what did you think could be my problem?

That's a problem of your settings and has probably nothing to do with Batch.
Not sure about Windows Server (also I don't know whether my translation for the steps is right).
Try:
Start>Control Panel>Regional and Lanuage Options
Select the right settings.
Now select the last tab (Administration) click on Copy Settings and select both check boxes (welcome site and system accounts; new accounts) in the next window.

Perhaps one of the native English could correct my faults.

Hello aGerman,

another time you're right, the only flag missing is "welcome screen new user accounts setting"

After setting flag to "copy your current setting to:" the problem was solved

The voice changed is "Welcome Screen Format" to Italian language and
"New User Account formato" to Italian language

Now I want to write a Script that ignore any localization, read data from Registry, and adapt it to any windows localization

Stay tuned
Regards
