Hi,

When using puppet on German windows together with foreman (same machine is puppetmaster) there is an encoding bug.

Windows uses windows-1250 encoding, but foreman needs UTF-8 encoding.
As a result foreman doesn't show any facts about windows puppet clients.

In Germany there is a facter line:

Mitteleuropäische Zeit ....

Foreman does not like the "ä" inside this line.
Changing the "ä" to an "a" solves this problem.
