Known Issues Fixed with ConfigMgr 2006 Hotfix Rollup KB4578605
You can get similar information in the Hotfix Rollup KB4578605 update as well. However, I thought the following table would be easy to read and understand.
| SL | Known Issues fixed with ConfigMgr 2006 Hotfix Rollup KB4578605 |
|---|---|
| 1 | Computers are unexpectedly removed from orchestration groups. This occurs if the site can use this boundary group for site assignment enabled, but the target computers are not in that group. |
| 2 | Client-state messages may not be properly recorded if the client computer restarts within 10 seconds of state message generation. This results in inconsistent or unexpected state message values, affecting the accuracy of the task sequence and software deployment reporting. |
| 3 | When other communications changes are made to the site, clients cannot communicate over a custom port for a management point. |
| 4 | Clients cannot communicate over a custom port for a management point when other communications changes are made to the site. |
| 5 | Client computers performing a PXE boot to install a new operating system cannot find the boot WIM file. This occurs when the WIM file is stored in a content library split across multiple drives. Errors resembling the following are recorded in the SMSPXE.log file. |
| 6 | Clients incorrectly attempt to use PKI certificates for communication, even if the option Use PKI client certificate (client authentication capability) when available is disabled on the Communication Security tab of Site Properties. |
| 7 | After updating to ConfigMgr’s current branch, version 2006, client installation using the PROVISIONTS property fails if the “Allow access to cloud distribution point” device setting is set to “No.” The client cannot download content, and an error resembling the following is recorded in the tsagent.log file. |
| 8 | The installation of a passive site server fails if orphaned.JOB files are present in the \inboxes\schedule.box folder. A message resembling the following is repeated in the FailOverMgr.log file. |
| 9 | Adding a passive site into a ConfigMgr infrastructure with at least 1 secondary site and client language packs installed will trigger a re-installation of all secondary sites. |
| 10 | The SCCM client installed on a Windows Embedded device stays in servicing mode if the maximum run time of deployment is greater than the duration of the maintenance window. |
| 11 | Improvements are made to the download process in the case of a timeout when the Download delta content when available client setting is enabled. |
| 12 | ConfigMgr clients deployed to Mac computers receive duplicate GUIDs. This occurs if the same username is provided as a parameter for the CMEnroll tool during client installation. |
| 13 | Improvements are made to the synchronization and processing of policy assignments and policy data between the Intune portal admin center and the SCCM admin console. This prevents issues such as creating a policy in the admin center that is not visible in the on-premises console. |
| 14 | The SCCM admin console may generate an exception resembling the following when attempting to complete the Co-management Configuration Wizard. |
| 15 | Clients may receive the incorrect policy, including scripts or settings when multiple orchestration groups are present. Consider the following scenario: |
| 16 | Client 1 may receive policy from orchestration group 2, causing it to run the pre- and post-scripts intended for group 2 when installing an update planned for group 1. |
| 17 | The setting Allow access to cloud distribution points is not configured when clients are deployed using the Autopilot service and the PROVISIONS parameter. This causes the Install Application and Install Software Updates task sequence steps to fail. |
