TDAD PowerShell obfuscation failing with OS locallization

Products

• Endpoint Security Complete

Issue/Introduction

When Threat Defense for Active Directory (TDAD) is deployed to a language-localized OS the obfuscation mask is visible in cmd.exe, but not in PowerShell. Changing system locale is not necessary; setting Windows' Display Language to a non-English language will reproduce the issue. This affects commands such as Get-ADGroupMember "domain computers" from the Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).

Environment

Release : 14.3 RU7 and below.

Cause

An issue was identified in processing the target assembly name substring.

Resolution

This issue is fixed in Symantec Endpoint Security (SES) 14.3.8 (RU8).
