Workspace ONE UEM Windows baseline service URL update (6000676)

  • As part of Omnissa’s divestiture from VMware by Broadcom following the acquisition by KKR, we are undergoing a necessary rebranding process across our product lines. 

The baseline service URL needs to be updated as part of the rebranding to Omnissa.

  • As part of the migration, we need to update the Baseline service URL. This KB highlights the new service URL.
  • Baseline service URL is configured from the Workspace ONE UEM console. The existing Baseline service URL, https://www.vxxxxebaselines.com, is required to be replaced with the new URL: https://www.baselines.awmdm.com .

 

Horizon Client Exception Error Triggered by Background .NET Updates (6000674)

  • The Horizon Client for Windows triggers a pop-up error when closing the application.

Omnissa Horizon Client Error

Omnissa Horizon Client Unrecoverable Error: (Host-10920)

Exception 0xe0434352 has occurred

  • This issue occurs when a Windows Update modifies the Microsoft .NET components while the Omnissa Horizon Client application is actively running.

 

Profiles Assigned Through Freestyle Workflows Installed on Unintended Devices (6000667)

  • Profiles configured for use in a Freestyle Workflow may install on all devices assigned to the Smart Group associated with the Workflow in the following conditions, 
    1. Profiles may install even if the Workflow is configured to perform a different action, such as uninstalling the profile. 
    2. Profiles may install on devices even when the conditions specified in the Workflow are not met. 
    3. Profiles configured in an on-demand Workflow may install automatically, even if the Workflow has not been executed on the device. 
  • This behaviour results in profiles being installed on devices without assignment, disrupting expected resource deployment.

With Android Intelligent Hub 24.11 and Workspace ONE Launcher 24.11, inactivity timer support is extended to environments that are integrated with Workspace ONE Access.
