New Features in this Release

Workspace ONE UEM Console

  • VMware Identity Manager is now Workspace ONE Access.
    Our Intelligent Access for the Digital Workspace is now called Workspace ONE Access.

    For the VMware AirWatch Cloud Connector to auto-update, servers which have ACC installed needs .NET Framework 4.8.

Android

This iteration does not support using Gmail with derived credentials on Android Enterprise. For details, access Use Profiles to Control How Android (Enterprise) Devices use Derived Credentials Certificates.

iOS

    Manage the operating system updates of your iOS devices with the new Updates framework. With the new framework, you can force devices to download and install any iOS update available for the device. You can also notify users when each step finishes. A new reporting dashboard allows you to track the rollout of each update to your devices and drill into specific devices for a more detailed list of updates for the device.

    Workspace ONE Assist is now available for macOS.For more information, see Remote View.
  • Enhanced security for managing local admin account with a unique randomized password for each device that can be viewed in the admin console.
    We've improved security for managing local admin account on macOS. Workspace ONE UEM also takes it a step further and automatically triggers a password rotation in 8 hours of when someone attempts to view the password in the console for a particular device.
  • We now automaticaly remediate devices missing the required certificates.
    We've improved the desired state management of macOS certificates by automatically remediating devices missing required certificates. To know more, see Certificate Profile Resiliency.

Windows

  • Control when your Windows 10 devices update with the improved Windows Update profile.
    We've enhanced the Windows Update profile to improve the user experience. We've condensed some fields, removed legacy options, and reorganized the layout a bit. We've also added the new Active Hours Maximum option that allows you to limit the number of active hours for device updates. You can also set reboot deadlines based on the type of update with the Engaged Restart Deadline options.
  • Creating Baselines is easier with our improved UI.
    We've improved the user experience for creating Baselines. Navigate custom policies easier with the new vertical layout. Reviewing additional policies is easier with the new collapsible layout.
  • Know the build your Windows 10 devices are using.
    We've improved the Device Details page to show the latest patch version or 4th decimal of the OS version of your Windows 10 devices under the Build Number field.

App Management

  • We've stopped collecting personal app information from your devices, even while enforcing app compliance or app control policies.
    We've made some changes to the personal app information collection when you set the privacy policy as ‘Do not collect'. For more information, see the Impact of Privacy Settings on the Application List Compliance and Application Control profile.
  • We’ve improved the user experience for all your Windows app installation.
    You can now choose to defer reboots until a more convenient time, or install multiple applications and reboot once they have all installed. For more information, see Device Restart.

Known Issues

  • AAPP-8725: iOS device details page displays incorrect IMEI report for an iOS multi-SIM device(e-sim). 

     When e-sim is used on iOS devices, the same IMEI number is displayed for both physical sim and e-sim under networks. 

  • AAPP-8554: VPP apps do not get installed on iPods even if the supported devices include the iPhone and iPod touch. 

     Licenses do not associate as expected and the install app command does not queue for iPod models.

  • AGGL-6074​: Device Blacklisting, Whitelisting, and registration with IMEI/Serial Number does not work on Android Q devices in the AE work profile.

    In Android Q, Google has removed the ability for Hub to get the Serial number and IMEI for work profile enrollment until the work profile is created. As a result, any rules set for blacklisting, Whitelisting and Registration are not applied during enrollment.

  • AMST-21542: The compliance policy displays "Not Available" on the device list view for certain users.

    If you use the staging enrollment and do not set the compliance policy, then the compliance policy displays as not available on the device list view page.

    As a workaround, set the compliance policy and the status updates correctly. 

  • AMST-22894 ​: Sensor Trigger Option Shows another Option with Name "Unknown" along with Event and Schedule.

    Sensor Details Option trigger Event displays "Unknown"  in the sensor creation wizard. 

  • AMST-22900​: Custom baseline with added policy goes to compliance "Not Available" status when LGPO is missing.

    If LGPO is missing for custom baseline the compliance will read as not available on the console dashboard

    As a workaround, create a compliance policy and add LGPO.

  • RUGG-7435: Multiple copies of a file are created when files are uploaded via multiple browser tabs.

    Adding files through Devices > Provisioning > Components > Files / Actions in the multiple browser tabs may result in multiple copies of the files being uploaded into the Workspace ONE UEM Console.

    As a workaround, add files through a single browser tab, rather than multiple concurrent browser tabs.

  • PPAT-6208 ​: Tunnel configurations share the same gatewayUID.

    Two Tunnel configurations share the same gatewayUID in a specific scenario. 

  • MACOS-1887: Unable to deploy Intelligent Hub (automatic installation post-enrollment), Bootstrap Packages, and Apple Business Manager (VPP) apps on macOS 11 Big Sur

    The "Require admin password to install or update apps" (restrict-store-require-admin-to-install) key has been deprecated in macOS 10.14. In macOS 11 Big Sur, installing a profile with this key will, unfortunately, cause apps deployed via native MDM commands to fail. 

    As a workaround, clear the setting for "Require admin password to install or update apps" in any macOS Restrictions profile being deployed to a macOS 11+ device.

  • CMCM-188952: The expiry date of a file is always one day more than what's set on the console.

    Set an expiry date for any file in the Managed Content section on the console. Sync the device and check the info of that file. The expiry date of a file is always one day more than what's set on the UEM console. 

    As a workaround, set the date one day prior to your intended expiration date.
