Fixed

  • MDM service stability: unexpected stops and restarts, lost front-end communication after downtime, stalled status reporting, enrollment status never set to success, and a missing registry key preventing service start.
  • MDM: volume licenses were not assigned to applications, iOS app deployment was unstable, concurrent app installation defaulted to 1 (causing long install times), special characters broke Apple app names and custom end-user agreements, and enrollment failed when the password contained =.
  • Android: the agent stopped at enrollment step 2, “no store account” was shown despite a configured store account, the File Transfer Payload placed files in the wrong folder, and the profile editor now states that Webclips require Android 8.0 or earlier.
  • OSD/PXE: UEFI boot failed, PXE boot stalled on block retransmission, multiple network adapters were mishandled, the ciOSDeploy service leaked memory, and reinstall from the WebConsole did not work with UEFI.
