    In CTP 2.3 if Polybase is being installed the Server Collation must be either Latin1_General_100_AS_KS_WS or SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

    This can be selected on the Server Configuration Screen during installation

    Sharepoint (even 2013) wants Windows Collation Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS so this was chosen
