Details: UIUPrep now logs to \ProgramData\UIU\UIU.cmtl.log in addition to the standard UIUPrep log file, in Configuration Manager Trace Log (CMTL) format.This log is a duplication of the standard UIU log while migration to CMTL format is in progress.
Details: Added a "-cmautoimportrepository" switch for UIU Classic Mode: This switch enables Classic Mode CLI to automatically discover a UIU Repository Import (IMP) file in the same directory as the Classic Mode executable. In the event that multiple IMP files exist, the first (alphanumerical) entry is selected, based on file name. This switch is overridden by the -cmrepositoryimportpath switch, so if a user provides both, the value provided by -cmrepositoryimportpath is selected. If the -cmautorepositoryimport switch is provided and Classic Mode is unable to locate any IMP files, Classic Mode writes an error dialogue ("Classic Mode does not continue automatically if the -cmautorepositoryimport switch is provided and cannot locate a UIU Repository Import (IMP) file.") and exits. For more information, please review the UIU Classic Mode User Guide
Symptoms: Servicing older Windows PE media (3.x & 4.x) requires 32-bit specific binaries (DISM) which do not load under a 64-bit process, resulting in error conditions. Big Bang recommends that Windows PE version 10 be employed. Contact UIU Support for additional information.
Symptoms: UIU fails to locate content after receiving a Nomad cache location from a local subnet query whose machine(s) were not on or available to provide content even though content is available on an external subnet. Resolution: Modified the content location request logic to include external subnet nomad caches in the initial content location lookup process in addition to local subnet locations.
Details: The UIUPrep application now supports leveraging 1E's Tachyon platform to locate UIU repository cache location(s) that are distributed to a Nomad, Single-Site Download peer-to-peer environment. Please contact UIU Support about implementation of this new feature.
Symptoms: When using the CLI feature of the UIUPM application to perform updates against a repository, the updates may not complete fully. Resolution: Development to alleviate this issue is ongoing. Contact UIU Support for more information about work-arounds.
