Do Not Use Unicode Multi-language Characters in the Workgroup Parameter

Symptom:

OS image deployment over Samba fails if boot parameters contain Japanese characters.

Solution:

Do not use Unicode Multilanguage characters in the Workgroup parameter. The DOS MSclient from Microsoft does not accept Unicode characters in the Workgroup parameter. If you use Unicode characters in the Workgroup boot parameter, the boot server shares cannot be opened from the DOS boot image running on the target computer.
