Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You use the Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) to configure a localized version of Windows 7 or of Windows Server 2008 R2.
-
You use the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) to connect to a domain controller in a domain environment.
-
You try to generate a report for a Group Policy object (GPO) in the GPMC window.
In this scenario, you experience one of the following issues:
-
You can generate the report. However, the locale-setting name is blank.
-
You cannot generate the report. Additionally, you receive an error message that resembles the following:Â Â
Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: "Key being added:"
Note These issues do not occur if you use the GPMC to generate the report in an English version of Windows 7 or of Windows Server 2008 R2.Â
Cause
These issues occur because the GPMC uses an initial buffer size of 128 bytes for a locale-setting name. If the size of one or more of the locale-setting names is larger than 128 bytes, one of the issues that are described in the "Symptoms" section occurs. If there is only one large locale-setting name in the report, the first issue occurs. If there is more than one large locale-setting name in the report, the second issue occurs.
