Features

  • Collect Logs button added to the Publisher. Will create a .zip file of files useful for troubleshooting.

Improvements

  • If the ConfigMgr applications are configured to remove the version from the name, and there is application retention configured we will now append the version to OLD versions of the app. This is to ensure that there is only one application with the same name.

  • ConfigMgr database scan button is now available on the ConfigMgr apps tab as well as the Updates tab.

  • Fixed a bug where Intune email reports would not include the warning regarding missing local content for applications

Features

  • Manage Conflicting Process ‘Close and Update’ button will now call the CloseMainWindow first. If the conflicting application is still running after 20 seconds we fall back to the Kill method.
    • This gives the user 20 seconds to respond to any ‘save’ prompts or other app-closing windows.
  • Pre/Post scripts for uninstall
  • Manage Conflicting Process settings also apply to uninstall. This ensures that a user will be prompted to close software for the uninstall as well.

    • Script Version: 3.1
  • Fixed a bug where double-clicking an item in the Intune App Manager would cause an ‘Index out of Range’ unhandled exception. This now opens the Manage Assignment wizard as expected.

  • Fixed a bug where the UI notification log file may not be created if the folder does not exist.

  • Improve the message which displays when an incorrect configuration is saved.
  • Code changes in preparation for user-based applications.
  • Publisher SMTP alerts for the creation of ConfigMgr apps, Intune apps, and Intune updates will all now show the CVE information. Previously only the WSUS updates would show this information.
  • Added notes to the pre/post script window to help clarify the feature functionality.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the Manage Conflicting Process window would not appear when a ConfigMgr application was deployed as required and the checkbox for ‘Allow user interaction…’ was not checked.
  • Fixed a bug where Intune role scope tags would not be updated on sync for Intune Updates.
  • Fixed a bug where the configured proxy may not be used for the Intune connection during publisher sync.
  • Fixed a bug where software may be marked for revision during every sync of the Publisher. This would occur when PreventConflictingProcessRestart was in use and the KillProcess was set instead of Notify.
  • Fixed a bug where the 'Exclude from Auto-Publishing' option for Intune apps and Intune updates may not work as expected causing excluding software to still be published if found.
  • When a user or admin category was selected on a ConfigMgr application the Publisher would create a revision of the application every synchronization. Now a revision will only be created if a user or admin category needs to be added.
  • Improved logging when checking access to timestamp.digicert.com if a proxy is defined
