IT can simply map infrastructure (including networks and printer mappings) and dynamically set policies for end-users.

Resolved Issues

Note: The numbers included before the resolved issues are used by VMware's internal issue tracking system.

DEM-7: Verbose ADMX log file for computer environment settings grows indefinitely

When logging to the optional verbose ADMX log file for computer environment settings (enabled through the AdmxLogging configuration setting), the MaximumLogFileSize configuration setting is ignored.

This issue is resolved in this release.

DEM-11: Self-Support does not work correctly in SyncTool scenarios

VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Self-Support does not correctly detect if VMware Dynamic Environment Manager SyncTool is installed. In SyncTool scenarios, Self-Support does not enable its SyncTool-specific logic, and tries to access the remote configuration and profile archives shares instead of the Local Sync Path.

This issue is resolved in this release.

Workaround: Create an empty FlexSyncGpo.dll file in the installation folder (typically C:\Program Files\Immidio\Flex Profiles).

DEM-14: Path-based export skipped on Citrix

In some Citrix setups, an error can occur that causes the path-based export to be skipped. The log file contains log messages similar to Import status flag is outdated: dated ..., but logged-on at 1601-01-01 01:00:00.000.

This issue is resolved in this release.

Known Issues

Note: The numbers included before the known issues are used by VMware's internal issue tracking system.

• 1438303: Cannot display button text on some Asian versions of Windows operating systems

  On some Asian versions of Windows operating systems, the button text in the Management Console, the Application Profiler, and the Helpdesk Support Tool might be missing.

  Workaround: Specify the /NoScale command-line argument when you start the Management Console, Application Profiler, and the Helpdesk Support Tool.

• 1574438: Button text truncated on some Asian versions of Windows operating systems

  On some Asian versions of Windows operating systems, the button text in the Self-Support Tool is truncated if a German Multilingual User Interface is used.

  Workaround: No workaround exists for this issue.

• 3084950: You might encounter limitations with the Windows 10 Start Menu Windows Common Setting

  Configuration settings for the Start menu itself, such as Show most used apps and Use Start full screen, are not saved.

  Workaround: No workaround exists for this issue.

• 2870360: COM servers do not trigger DirectFlex processing

  In older versions of Dynamic Environment Manager, instantiating an out-of-process COM object hosted by a DirectFlex-enabled executable triggered DirectFlex processing. With the default DEM configuration, this behavior does not exist.

  Workaround: To enable the old behavior, set REG_DWORD value DirectFlex to 1 in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Immidio\Flex Profiles key (for Group Policy-based setups), or in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware UEM\Agent\Configuration key (for NoAD).
