I'm able to reproduce this problem and I've filed the issue as
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18323. Using ruby 1.9 and
fixing the computer_name method as mentioned in the ticket, I am able
to create a user. If you are seeing other issues, e.g. file names,
etc, please let us know.

Thanks,
Josh

Yes, this problem made impossible create (or use) non-ANSI file-names, folders, comment and other. It is very sad, my project stopped. Can I hope for the next bugfix release?

Does this occur when using a simple file resource when owner, group
and mode are not specified? If so, could you try the latest ruby 1.9
on windows from http://rubyinstaller.org?

[Евгений Верещагин]

OK, I try this;

1. Create site.pp with strings:

file { 'D:/тест.txt':
content => 'Hello, world!',
}

2. Run Puppet Agent.
3. Make file on D: with unreadable name (screenshot)
4. Download zip-file from http://rubyinstaller.org (ruby-1.9.3-p362)
5. Unzip to C:/Program Files/Puppet Labs/Puppet/sys/ruby with rewriting.
6. Run Agent.
7. I saw a lot of new problems (screenshot): not enough some GEMs.

This is definitely a bug in ruby 1.8.7. I can see, using Process
Monitor, that ruby is calling CreateFile with a mangled filename.

You'll need to use puppet 3, the latest stable release is 3.0.2:

This is definitely a bug in ruby 1.8.7. I can see, using Process

I think, that bug is in Windows codepage. In Russian console it is cp866. I can change codepage to UTF: chcp 65001, but it work in current session of cmd.exe only. I see such solutions:
1. Try switch console codepage to UTF before Puppet Agent read non-ANSI characters from manifest.
2. Convert UTF to system codepage.
3. Disable check codepage in manifest files and write windows-manifest in windows codepage.

You'll need to use puppet 3, the latest stable release is 3.0.2:

All my experiments I spend with version 3.0.2, but it use ruby 1.8.

Your best option is going to be to install ruby 1.9.3, and then
install the necessary windows gems contained in the Gemfile[1]. You
can either do that manually via `gem install ...`, or if you're
familiar with bundler, do `bundle install` followed by `bundle exec
puppet apply ...`

Puppet client 3.1b2 write other message. It works with US-ASCII only.
