KB Highlights & Announcements Week 47-24:
Smart Group exclusions now managed at version level in modern SaaS architecture enabled Workspace ONE UEM Environments (6000662)
- Customers managing internal applications have often requested more granular control over which devices can receive specific versions of an application. With legacy UEM architecture (pre-modern SaaS architecture), if a device was excluded from even one version of an application, it was prevented from receiving any version of that application. This broad enforcement didn’t align with the administrator’s need for more targeted application deployments. Although exclusions were configured at the version level, enforcement was applied at the application level, limiting flexibility.
- With the introduction of the modern SaaS based Workspace ONE UEM architecture, exclusions are now respected at the version level, aligning the system behavior with how exclusions are configured. This change ensures that devices are only restricted from the specific versions they are excluded from, while still allowing access to other applicable versions. This aligns with long-standing customer requests to allow more granular control and flexibility in managing internal applications.
- This article outlines the differences between how exclusions were managed in the legacy UEM architecture and how they are handled by the modern SaaS UEM architecture. It also discusses the impact of these changes on your device fleet and provides guidance on how to manage and mitigate any potential effects.
HW-216272: Access Service Token out-of-bound range gives erroneous result (6000663)
- If the token time-to-live for an Access Service Client Token has a range limit and if the value is set above 35791395 minutes (~24855.14 days) , the Access TTL gets saved as 7 days.
- Versions Impacted: All Omnissa Access Cloud and On-Premise versions
- A resolution for this problem will be included in the future version of Omnissa Access Cloud and on-premise versions
Issue with picture/icon link present in the Default Message Templates (6000143)
- The image links present in the Default Message Templates being sent through Workspace ONE UEM are still pointing to a domain which is no longer available. As a result, the emails being sent contain a broken image error and users will be unable to download pictures in the email.
- This issue will be resolved by introducing an updated email header in an upcoming version of Workspace ONE UEM. Please subscribe to this KB for updates as we progress on resolution of this KB.
- During a Omnissa Horizon View Desktops session, you may encounter an issue where the Teams Meeting Control Bar at the top of the desktop becomes invisible when sharing your screen via Microsoft Teams. Additionally, the participant window located in the bottom right corner may disappear when minimizing the Microsoft Teams meeting window. Although not visible, hovering your mouse over these areas will reveal that they are still present but hidden from view. This problem typically arises when using MS Teams in Non-OptimizedMode and with Nvidia vGPU cards.

- Contact cache control
- This feature allows users and administrators to turn off contact suggestions when composing emails while maintaining access to mailbox contacts and GAL (Global Access List), improving security and reducing the risk of sending emails to wrong recipients.
- An application-level boolean KVP, DisableCachedContactSuggestions is available in the Workspace ONE UEM console.
The default value of this KVP is FALSE. If set to TRUE, contact cache is deactivated, but users can still search the mailbox and GAL. - A toggle Enable contact suggestions is available in the Workspace ONE Boxer application, in the Settings > Contacts section.
- When the KVP is set to TRUE, the user-configurable option in the Workspace ONE Boxer application is deactivated.
- Customizable signature for shared and delegated accounts
- A new setting “Signature” is introduced in the delegated/shared accounts settings screen.
- It gives the users opportunity to change the signature which is applied when they send/ reply to emails on behalf of the corresponding account.
- The setting is only local and is not synced across app instances or devices.
- Quality improvements and crash fixes

WS1 Launcher 24.11 for Android
- ALAU-172826: Expanded Inactivity Timer for Third-Party IDP Support
We’ve broadened the scope of the inactivity timer to now seamlessly support third-party IDPs in addition to UEM authentication. This enhancement ensures greater flexibility and adaptability for diverse authentication needs. - ALAU-173237: Admin Mode Auto-Timeout for Elevated Security
Say goodbye to forgotten admin sessions! Admin Mode now features an automatic timeout, seamlessly transitioning back to user mode to safeguard against unauthorized privileged actions and enhance device security. - ALAU-173238: Enhanced Navigation with Bottom Bar on Launcher Canvas
Introducing a sleek bottom navigation bar for the launcher’s home screen pages! This update ensures navigation buttons (back, home, recent apps) remain clearly visible, even against background images, by adding a consistent, polished background color. - ALAU-173245: MSAL Support for Launcher
Added integration for Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) to the launcher.
Note: While this release includes MSAL support for the launcher, full functionality for features like Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) and Global Sign-Out through Microsoft services will require corresponding updates to other components, such as Hub and UEM. - ALAU-173471: Intel SDK Upgrade to Version 24.8.0
Updated to the latest Intel SDK (v24.8.0) for improved performance and compatibility. - ALAU-173747: Minimum SDK Requirement Raised to Version 26
Increased the minimum SDK requirement to version 26, ensuring better performance and access to newer Android features. - ALAU-17340: Branding Updates Reflecting Transition to Omnissa
Updated branding across the platform to align with our rebranding as Omnissa. - Issues Fixed:
- ALAU-172768: Launcher Foreground Issue Resolution
Addressed an issue where the Launcher would immediately return to the foreground upon exit due to a known Android system limitation in clearing the Launcher as the default home app.
As a workaround, Launcher version 24.11 includes a fix to prevent this behavior when exiting the Launcher. However, please note that pressing the home button will still cause the Launcher to return to the foreground, as this is an Android system-level limitation that requires resolution by Google.
- ALAU-173511: Usage Access Permission Screen Fix
Fixed an issue where the usage access permission screen would appear despite the skipUsageAccess configuration in the launcher profile. The launcher now respects this setting to avoid unnecessary prompts. - ALAU-173556: Removal of System Keyboard Settings Icon on Zebra Devices
Removed access to the system keyboard settings ("gear") icon on Zebra devices within the launcher, preventing unintended access to keyboard properties in managed environments.
