SYMPTOMS
When you use the Japanese version of Windows Server 2003 and you run the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) wmic /? command from Special Administration Console (SAC), the SAC client console is not updated correctly, and no characters are returned.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because of how NULL characters are interpreted when you use SAC in the Japanese version of Windows Server 2003. (NULL characters are returned when you use the wmic /? command.) For SAC to return NULL characters correctly, the NULL characters must be represented as spaces.
