[UpdateServicesServer] Products test return false after set

[phoenix2pm]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

Some Wsus products have non ASCII characters in their Title. In particular "Windows Server Manager – Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Dynamic Installer" dash (" - ") is not in ASCII format therefore comparison is failing subsequently test and set is failing.

Suggested solution to the issue

Suggested solution to strip all none alphanumerical characters using this method: ToCharArray().Where{ $_ -imatch "[a-z0-9]" } -join '' i.e. like this:

foreach ($Product in $Products) {
                   # Due to none ASCII characters used in Product titles in particular "Windows Server Manager – Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Dynamic Installer" dash (" - ") is not in ASCII format
                   # had to strip all none alphanumerical characters to compare the titles. to do so used this method: ToCharArray().Where{ $_ -imatch "[a-z0-9]" } -join '' 
                   if ($WsusProduct = $AllWsusProducts | Where-Object { ($_.Title.ToCharArray().Where{ $_ -imatch "[a-z0-9]" } -join '') -eq ($Product.ToCharArray().Where{ $_ -imatch "[a-z0-9]" } -join '') }) {
                       Write-Verbose "Setting WSUS Product: $($Product)"
                       $null = $ProductCollection.Add($WsusServer.GetUpdateCategory($WsusProduct.Id))
                   }
               }
