Week 17 -  2022

 

 

 



 

Weekly highlight:

 

VMware Workspace ONE UEM Console 2203 is General Available as of April 29, 2022!

 

·       Get notified when your Apple Business Manager tokens are about to expire.

Admins in Workspace ONE UEM can now be notified by email or directly in the console 30 days before the expiration of an Apple Business Manager (ABM) app token or device token. Device tokens will also be able to notify admins when errors occur, such as the acceptance of new ABM Terms of Use. For more information, see Configure Console Notifications.

·       Override the default device reboot behavior for your win32 apps during installation.

Workspace ONE UEM now provides you the flexibility to define the device reboot behavior not just at the app configuration level but also at the app assignment level. You can set the device restart options by activating the newly introduced Override Reboot Handling setting at the app assignment level. The restart options you configure at the assignment level override the options configured at the app configuration level. For more information, see Upload and Configure Win32 Files for Software Distribution and Add Assignments and Exclusions to your Applications.

·       We’ve added support for macOS Recovery Lock

Starting from macOS 11.5, as an MDM administrator, you can set a password that must be entered before a user can restart an Apple Silicon macOS device into the recovery OS via API. The password can be set or removed only by the MDM solution. You can also view the recovery lock status in Event Logs. To know more, see Recovery Lock Status.

·       Product delivery to devices in a SaaS environment just got easier!

To optimize performance and free up significant resources in UEM, use CDN to deliver products to devices. By default, we have set the provisioning setting for the organization group that hosts devices to Enabled. You can check the Product Downloads Through CDN setting by navigating to Groups & Settings > All Settings > Admin > Product Provisioning.

The automated DEP enrollment of Mac Studio into Workspace ONE MDM fails (88315)

  • The automated DEP enrollment of Mac Studio into Workspace ONE MDM fails.

  • You see the error similar to:
    Enrolling with management server failed. Unexpected error (MDMResponseStatus:500)

  • This issue occurs because the Mac Studio devices represent a new Apple Device Model Family, and the normal device model seeding process cannot be used to enable support.

  • This is a known issue affecting automated DEP MDM enrollments involving Apple MAC Studio hardware. Currently, there is no user-based resolution.

  • VMware's Development team is working to add these designations to UEM, and will be addressing this in future releases.

  • To work around this issue, manually enroll the Apple MAC Studio hardware machine into Workspace ONE UEM.

  • More information: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/88315?lang=en_US


[AAGNT-194517] Some Samsung COPE devices unexpectedly unenroll (88267)

  • Some Samsung devices enrolled in Corporate-Owned Personally Enabled (COPE) mode and running Android 11+ may unexpectedly unenroll from Workspace ONE UEM. When this occurs, a "Break MDM" event is seen in the UEM Console for the affected device.

  • This issue should be resolved in Android Intelligent Hub 22.03.0.14. If you continue to experience unexpected device un-enrollments, please contact Workspace ONE Support.

Email Notification Service 2 for on-premises v1.11 and older support notice (86338)

  • All customers of Email Notification Service 2 (ENS2) for on-premises v1.11 and older are advised to migrate to a more recent versions before October 2022. Per VMware Workspace ONE UEM support release policy, on-premises releases are supported for 18 months after general availability.

  • Older versions of ENS2 on-premises distributions rely on the older VMware Workspace ONE Cloud Notification Service and should be upgraded at the earliest convenience to take advantage of the more robust notification framework afforded by VMware Workspace ONE Cloud Notification Service 2, available starting in ENS2 v21.04.

  • Customers using on-premises ENS2 have several upgrade options:

    • Customers preferring to stay with an on-premises ENS2 deployment can upgrade to the latest version of ENS2 on-premises.

    • Customers may also select to migrate to a SaaS-hosted version of ENS2 at no extra charge.

    • High security US Federal Government customers now have an option of SaaS-hosted ENS2 deployed in a FedRAMP High environment.
