dns debug log character/locale configuration

Question

How can I change the region/locale configuration of the DNS debug logs?

I'm noticing some extra characters which break do not play nice with a parser I use for analysing the logs. I'd rather not change the parser to support these characters but instead change the log format itself.

Currently the logs appear like this:

DNS Server log file creation at 9.3.2021 ã. 11:01:47

Log file wrap at 9.3.2021 ã. 11:01:47

...

9.3.2021 ã. 11:01:48 3870 PACKET redacted UDP Rcv redacted 7305 Q [0001 D NOERROR] A redacted

Notice the ã. in the date/time stamp as well as the date format itself (dot delimited instead of slash / ).

On other DNS servers the format is the US date-time format like this:

DNS Server log file creation at 3/17/2021 11:42:21 AM

...

3/17/2021 11:44:15 AM 0C34 PACKET redacted UDP Snd redacted 686f R Q [8385 A DR NXDOMAIN] SRV redacted

Changing the OS region locality settings does not seem to change this for some reason. Any ideas how this is applied?

two things (the second one is important).

First Regional format to English US;

second, select 'welcome screen and system accounts' checkbox (mine is done already on this picture).

restart the computer.

should do the trick.
PS to clarify: it worked for me, several times.
