Release Updates Week 20-24:  

Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub 24.04 for Android (staged) 

  • Accessibility improvements in Intelligent Hub 
  • Support for enabling 3rd-party cookies when authenticating with Workspace ONE Access: In some cases, Intelligent Hub needs to support 3rd-party cookies in order for users to authenticate with Workspace ONE Access. In cases where 3rd-party cookie support is required and this is not enabled, users may see a "cookies not supported" error in Intelligent Hub. See How to Enable 3rd-party Cookies for Workspace ONE Access Authentication in the Beta Resources for more information on how to test this features. 
  • Intelligent Hub processes pending actions and delivers samples at a more consistent frequency: When an Android device exits Doze Mode, Intelligent Hub will now count the time the device spent in Doze Mode to determine when to next execute certain recurring tasks. Previously, the time a device spent in Doze Mode would not be considered in this calculation, which extended the time between executions of said recurring tasks on devices that frequently entered Doze Mode. These tasks include processing pending actions in Workspace ONE UEM, such as installation of profiles and apps, as well as sending device information to Workspace ONE UEM. 
  • Higher priority for Tunnel Profile installation: In instances where Intelligent Hub needs to apply multiple resources, it will install Tunnel Profiles before most other resources. This can accelerate setup of Workspace ONE Tunnel during checkout of shared devices, which in turn can allow users to authenticate with applications sooner using Mobile SSO.   
  • Improvements to Samsung KNOX integration: Intelligent Hub uses a Samsung KNOX License to leverage Samsung-specific Android device management functionality, such as Samsung-only profiles. Intelligent Hub 24.04 improves the resilience of this integration to prevent issues where the KNOX license key is not properly activated.      
  • Bug Fixes 

    Workspace ONE Boxer 24.04 for Android (staged) 
  • Support for .msg files preview 
    • User can now access and preview .msg email attachments directly from their email thread, without the need for external applications. 
  • Improvement in Microsoft Conditional Access Authentication on password change 
    • When the Active Directory password of a user is changed, the user is directly redirected to the Microsoft Authenticator App when the user taps Retry Authentication button. 
  • Improvement in reporting phishing 
    • When phishing is reported, the email is moved to trash instead of being permanently deleted. 
  • Support for Cisco Jabber meeting links 
    • Cisco Jabber meeting links from Calendar events in Workspace ONE Boxer directly open in the Cisco Jabber application. 
    • When Cisco Jabber application is not installed on the device, the user is prompted to install the application from Google Play Store. 
  • Improvement in Workspace ONE Boxer Settings 
    • Advanced settings are simplified.
      Some old feature flags are removed so that users can easily find and use the latest, available settings. 
  • Quality improvements 

    Workspace ONE Content for iOS 24.04.1 
  • Bug fixes 
    • HUBW-14910: [Hub] - Intelligent Hub 23.10.7 showing ConnectionAbortedError

    WS1 UEM: File As A Service

Relevant for Admins managing frontline devices, push internal apps and configuration files, issue security patches, and manage specific files/folders like pushing the zip required for OS upgrade, the delivery route file for a worker delivering packages, and deleting the log files. 
  • What: Focus Group conversation via Zoom to provide feedback on concept.

    WS1 UEM: Vulnerability Mgmt. – Remediation

    WS1 UEM: Deployment Phases  
  • This article discusses the go forward plan for the continuation of the Horizon combined offerings with vSphere, vCenter, and vSAN, after the divestiture of the EUC Division, Broadcom. 
  • Starting in May 2024, customers renewing subscriptions of or purchasing net new licenses of Horizon combined offerings with vSphere and vSAN will receive a new entitlement to VMware vSphere Foundation for VDI ("VVF for VDI"), which includes: 
    • vSphere Enterprise Plus 
    • vCenter 
    • vSAN Enterprise 

      Following the closing of the divestiture, EUC and Broadcom have agreed that EUC can continue to sell the “combined offering” versions of Horizon SaaS and Horizon Term SKUs with VVF for VDI, including Named User and Concurrent User license metrics and 1, 3, and 5-year terms. 
  • Customers can expect to receive two (2) emails upon purchase: 
    1. An email from End User Computing with a link to EUC Customer Connect portal to get the new Horizon license keys and access to product downloads 
    2. An email from Broadcom with a link to Broadcom Support Portal to get the VVF for VDI license keys and downloads. 

      The vSphere license keys will be for the latest version (8.0U3) and may be version downgraded as needed to support the current version you are running. 

      iOS 17.5 and Web Distribution of Apps (15514) 
  • As we complete the integration of Fusion and Workstation into Broadcom, we wanted to share with the community some changes to our product lineup and how we deliver them to our users. Most importantly are changes to the way we license our desktop hypervisor products. From now onward, Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro will have two license models.  
  • We now provide a Free Personal Use or a Paid Commercial Use subscription for our Pro apps. Users will decide based on their use case whether a commercial subscription is required. This means that everyday users who want a virtual lab on their Mac, Windows or Linux computer can do so for free simply by registering and downloading the latest build from the new download portal located at support.broadcom.com. With the new commercial model, we have reduced our product group offerings down to a single SKU (VCF-DH-PRO) for users who require commercial use licensing. This simplification eliminates 40+ other SKUs and makes quoting and purchasing VMware Desktop Hypervisor apps, Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro, easier than ever. The new Desktop Hypervisor app subscription can be purchased from any Broadcom Advantage partner.
