extra character output from facter

edit

Hi,

First of all i'm sorry if i missed a similar topic, tried searching but couldnt find it.

I have a facter file that outputs extra characters. If I were to run the query individually i get my desired output, but if i include puppet formats it has extra characters garbage;

My code is as per below, to query via wmi a server's domain role;

Facter.add(:w2k8_systemrole) do
  confine :kernel => :windows
  setcode do
    value = "unknown"
        value = Facter::Core::Execution.exec('C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy remotesigned -Command "& {(Get-WmiObject win32_computersystem).DomainRole}"')
       if value != "*"
         value = value
       else
         value = "DomainRole is not defined for the system."
       end
  end
end

instead of "2" i get ƒ^cƒ-ƒ"?2. Please help, thanks.

Regards, Kuro
