Workspace ONE UEM | 30 May 2019

Check for additions and updates to these release notes.

New Features in this Release

Workspace ONE UEM console

    Get the most out of AirWatch Express with the new default configurations​.
    • Location collection is now turned on by default for new AirWatch Express deployments. . End users will now receive a confirmation prompt on their devices asking for permission to collect location data. If granted, location data appears in Device Details on the UEM console.
    • App Catalog is now enabled by default for new AirWatch Express deployments. After enrollment, the App Catalog webclip appears on the device home screen and allows end users to see all assigned apps.
    • Quickly unlock iOS devices placed in Lost Mode from the actions toolbar on the Device Details view.
  • Several configuration improvements have been made to AirWatch Express that impacts location collection, app catalog, and lost mode for the iOS devices.
  • Retrieve your user accounts and groups with the all new SCIM API.
    A new SCIM API helps retrieve all the groups that a user belongs to. 
  • Auto-approve your applications from the Office 365 Getting Started wizard.
    The Office 365 Getting Started Wizard lets you automatically approve Office 365 apps for Android Enterprise. This is now the normal flow.
  • Export your reports to XLSX files, just like CSV files.
    In addition to exporting CSV files, you can now export list views and reports as XLSX files. With this new choice, you can avoid the formatting issues caused by CSV formats.

Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub

  • Easily activate your Hub Services if you are already using VMware Identity Manager and Workspace ONE UEM.
    You can now easily enable Hub Services if you are already using VMware Identity Manager and Workspace ONE UEM.
    Just enter your existing VMware Identity Manager URL to activate Hub Services. No need to reenter the admin user credentials again. We use the one you already provided to link VMware Identity Manager and Workspace ONE UEM.

iOS

  • Start reporting on both physical SIMs and eSIMs with the new dual SIM support.
    Admins can now report on both physical SIMs and eSIMs configured on supported iOS devices like the iPhone XR, XS and XS Max.

Mobile Content Management

  • Add wildcard values to stop your users from creating manual repositories and sub folders.
    You can now use the wildcard character (*) at the beginning and the end of the file path to stop your users from creating manual repositories and sub folders using the manual template.

Rugged

  • Add apps to the Launcher profile with the ease of automation.
    You can now create dynamic rules to automatically whitelist apps added to a Launcher profile. These rules support wildcard characters in the App Field. After you add a wildcard, the app icon displays as a bundle of apps and appear in the Launcher in the available space. You do not need to republish the app every time you add a new app.
  • We've extended Content Delivery Network (CDN) to VMware Workspace ONE Launcher.
    Content Delivery Network (CDN) is now extended to VMware Workspace ONE Launcher. During enrollment, when the Launcher is pushed to the device it is pushed through CDN instead of Device Services. This improves the performance of Launcher delivery to devices and reduces the server load when new version of Launcher is deployed.

Windows

  • Make the most out of your Dell devices with the updated BIOS profile and Dell Command | Monitor integration.
    You no longer need to manually push Dell Command | Monitor to your Windows Desktop devices to use the BIOS profile. When you push the profile to your devices, Workspace ONE UEM automatically pushes Dell Command | Monitor to the devices.
  • Give knowledge to the users. Enable a progress display for Windows Desktop devices enrolling using the Out of the Box Experience (OOBE) workflow.
    The new progress display informs the user what is happening behind the screen during the OOBE enrollment. You can also allow your users to skip OOBE after a specific timeout period.

  • End-user devices no longer require Intelligence Hub to use the Windows Desktop Antivirus profile.
    Now it is easier than before to keep your Windows Desktop devices secure with the Windows Defender as we no longer require agent with the updated Antivirus profile for Windows Desktop devices.

  • Devices have a huge number of attributes associated. Harness the power of Sensors to target the specific devices you want.
    Windows Desktop devices have tons of attributes to remember such as hardware, OS, certificates, patches, apps, and more. To track all these attributes, we created Sensors. Now you can create a sensor for a specific attribute and view this data in Workspace ONE Intelligence by creating visualizations on dashboards and customizing reports.”

Known Issues

  • PPAT-3982: Customer can only have NSX configured at one OG at a time.

    Syncing NSX on the second OG will wipe the security group settings from the first OG.

  • PPAT-4817: Tunnel configuration is not displayed correctly while switching OGs.

    When switching OGs, user interface shows incorrect tunnel configuration.The UI displays configuration from the original OG.

  • PPAT-5382: Device traffic rules for Workspace ONE application is duplicated if the user sets the device traffic rules for Workspace ONE application and then runs Mobile SSO wizard from the getting started track.

    Device Traffic Rules for Workspace ONE is duplicated instead of being skipped. 

    As a workaround, you can delete the duplicate entry. 

  • PPAT-5388: Device Traffic rules can be misleading in a child OG that is not overridden if there are any rules for apps that exists at the parent level.

    Applications do not show as they are managed by the parent.

  • PPAT-4844: The UEM console allows same port for Per-App Tunnel and Proxy configuration.

    There should be a validation for not allowing same ports if the same server is being used for both Proxy and Per-App Tunnel.

    As a workaround, configure Per-App Tunnel and Tunnel Proxy with different ports.

  • AMST-17342​: Unable to remove FW rules. 

    Customers are unable to remove FW rules off of their devices on edit.

    As a workaround, delete or remove any profiles with rules to erase the configuration from the devices.

  • ARES-6552: Application version sort does not work as expected. 

    Other versions -> Sort By version number in the UEM console does not work as expected.

  • CMEM-185217: SEG MemConfig is displayed under Monitor -> Admin Panel.

    SEG configuration should not be shown in the Admin panel.

  • CMEM-184489: Sync Mailboxes status popup does not appear fine on the user interface. 

    Status popup is cut off from the user interface. 

  • AMST-17297​: Customers are unable to edit the registry criteria as the app status remains  "Install command dispatched". 

    Install command gets processed when registry criteria has hkey_local_machine instead of HKLM. Ideally in such cases the install command is expected to fail.

    As a workaround, delete the application from the UEM console and add it back with appropriate detection criteria.

  • AMST-17107: SFD task scheduler does not work as expected.

    SFD task scheduler remains in the running status after the client upgrade. Any applications that gets queued after the upgrade is not processed till the SFD task scheduler is restarted.

    As a workaround, kill and restart the SFD task scheduler. This particular issue is an edge case since not all applications get stuck in the download in progress.

  • AMST-17391: OOBE Blocking screen doesn't move automatically to the next page for RS3 devices.

    The OOBE blocking screen fails to move automatically to the next page for RS3 devices. However users can click Got It button to continue with the w​orkflow. Also the setting 'Provision entities on windows OOBE enrollment' under 'Optional Prompt' does not work for RS3 devices.

  • FCA-190511​: Mobile SSO wizard displays VMware tunnel setting status as "setup" instead of "Edit settings". 

    Even though the Mobile SSO wizard setup completes all the tunnel related configuration, the task status on the summary page does not show as "Edit settings".

  • FCA-190415 : Bookmarks do not work as expected. 

    Favorite icon successfully adds a page to the bookmark list but fails to appear in the drop down. 

    As a workaround, refresh the page. 

  • FCA-190417​: Navigation from the blueprint review tiles does not work as expected.

    Administrator is navigated to the incorrect section from the AW Express blueprint review tiles.

    As a workaround,you can navigate using the breadcrumbs from the review page.

    Devices show as "iPad mini" and iPad Air" and does not display the generation number.

  • AAPP- 7000: DEP page allows admins to choose Default Staging User managed at the Customer OG.

    Administrators are able to see both the parent and child default staging user while configuring the DEP and may unknowingly select the wrong one. 

    As a workaround, Change the OG of any impacted devices, or re-enroll the device.

  • AAPP- 6997: Custom B2B VPP applications is not displayed under promotions. 

    Search API does not currently return Custom B2B type for apps.

  • CRSVC-4391: Changes to Bluecoat VPN profiles fail with error "Save failed - unable to fetch trusted certificates".

    The integration between Workspace ONE UEM and Bluecoat leverages an authentication certificate seeded in the console and tenant identifier 'customer ID' input by an administrator in the VPN payload to initiate the integration. The seeded authentication certificate has expired which results in an error when the administrator attempts to make changes to the Bluecoat profile.

    At this time we have asked Bluecoat to provide a new certificate leveraging SHA-512 and we recommended that they offer tenant level certificates or vendor generated authentication certificates for added security. 

  • FCA-190396: Admins are unable to accept the Terms of Use after console update.

    Administrators are unable to log into the console.

  • PPAT-5730: Invalid Safari Domains prevents profile installation on device.

    Creating a profile with only a space or a comma as the rule, the resulting profile XML fails to install on devices. 

    As a workaround, add valid Safari Domains to profile payload.
