KB Highlights & Announcements Week 16-24:

Announcing Updates to the Page Navigation in the Workspace ONE UEM Console (97771)

  • The Workspace ONE UEM team is currently working towards revamping the user experience of the Workspace ONE UEM Console. As part of this effort, the console navigation experience is being redesigned. The goal is to improve the ease of navigating through menus by improving feature discoverability, making it more intuitive for new and existing console administrators. This is the first of many features you can expect to be introduced in due time. 
  • The updated console navigation has been designed after iterative user testing & research. Key features of the new experience include: 

    • Categorization - Clearly defined categories and sub-categories with labels for ease of discoverability 

    • Modular Solutions - Combining pages most likely to be used in association to each other within the same sub-categories

    • Most-used First - Critical console features have been surfaced while more niche features occupy less space on your home page

    • Open Menus - Quicker views of pages and subpages with opened up menus

    • Simplified Menus - Duplicative links to settings or other tabs have been removed to provide a simple straightforward menu structure 

  • The updated navigation has been made available in Shared SaaS UAT environments - CN135, CN137, CN138. The Workspace ONE UEM team encourages you to try out the new experience. It will be rolled out in production in an upcoming UEM release. 


macOS Managed App installation failure due to corrupt package (97661)

  • Customers may experience a failure in app installation via the Hub when a corrupt package with the same name already exists in the Munki cache folder. Symptoms include:
    • The installation process does not progress or retry.
    • Errors in the Hub log indicating issues with moving downloaded packages into the cache due to existing corrupt files.


EntraID Partner Compliance - Device Un-enrollment Known Issue (97804)

  • This article pertains to the Microsoft EntraID Partner Compliance sync for Conditional Access feature.
  • When a device is un-enrolled from management, Workspace ONE UEM retains the Entra Device ID.  While this helps with keeping track of obsolete IDs that correspond to stale device records in Entra, it causes an issue when the same device re-enrolls.  Workspace ONE UEM will update the previous record in Entra as compliant and managed, even though the record will not be used again, since a new ID and record will be created when the device registers to Entra again.  Once the device re-registers, the old record will be updated correctly to unmanaged and non-compliant, but there will be a gap between the re-enrollment and Entra registration.


Support and Configuration of New Teams as a Published App (97785)

  • Cannot configure New Teams as a Published App.

  • Providing support and configuration details for New Teams as a published app.
  • New Teams as a published app is supported with Horizon Agent 2312.1 and later.
  • Update Horizon environment to 2312.1 or later and set the "Enable UWP support on RDSH platforms" agent GPO to "Enabled".
    For more details, refer to this publish the New Teams App link

  • Workspace ONE UEM - Updated requirements for on-premise cumulative patches (94706)
    The base GA version for current Workspace ONE UEM releases is being revised through updated installers. On-premise customers will need to consume a revised installer for a given major version before any future cumulative patches can be deployed for that major version. These revised installers are required to address compatibility issues with regular cumulative patches.
  • Introducing Workspace ONE (WS1) UEM Next-Gen SaaS
    VMware is excited to announce that the resource management & tracking improvements, the first major feature-based milestone in the Workspace ONE UEM Modernization Journey, is now available for customer testing.
