Enhancement Issue ID

The agent now logs the On Demand Migration endpoint that it will contact. This will help identify misconfigurations related to tokens and the different processing regions. 459448
Agent enhanced to support use of the Desktop Update Agent with On Demand Migration Hybrid Exchange. 464123
Resolved Issues Issue ID
If an incorrect passphrase is entered in the agent installer, a warning is issued and the installation will not complete. This avoids a situation where the agent would be installed, but no token would be stored. 446216
When switching multiple profiles on one computer, the status for the PowerShell Script steps could incorrectly reflect a previous run. The status now resets correctly for each profile. 449831

In some domain move scenarios involving a vanity domain, the Desktop Update Agent is unable to locate the source profile, because the source email and User Principal Name known to On Demand Migration will have changed as part of the move process.

In this situation, the Desktop Update Agent may try to create a new profile using another discovered email address, which may result in an incorrectly configured user profile. As a result, Outlook might not be able to start and will report that the current set of folders cannot be opened.

This change also resolves a OneDrive issue related to the same scenario.

362169

When parsing the list of Windows services in the registry, the agent expected a String value. Unexpected characters, such as wide characters (two bytes per character), would result in a System.InvalidCastException error and the agent closing unexpectedly. 392606

Ability to skip the migration status validation during the configuration of the switch application task. 356643
Desktop Update Agent version 2.0
Enhancement Issue ID

Previous versions of Desktop Update Agent relied on hidden message stored in the source mailbox on Outlook to retrieve application reconfiguration details from On Demand Migration.

The current implementation removes this limitation by allowing users to reconfigure their application using their target Microsoft 365 tenant account if the agent cannot access the source mailbox through Outlook.

322542
Desktop Update Agent version 1.2.3
Resolved Issues Issue ID

Ability to locate source One Drive account when the source UPN and email are not the same.

369021
When running DUA for more than one user on the same workstation, the Microsoft 365 application license reset step may fail with an Access Denied error in the DUA logs. This is caused by a temporary file, output.txt, that is left behind in the directory C:\ProgramData\Quest\DUA\WPJCleanUp. This fix gives the file a unique name, and removes it after processing, unless some other error is encountered during the license cleanup step. 370854
Desktop Update Agent version 1.2.2
Enhancements Issue ID

Installer improved so that the agent does not need to be uninstalled before updating to a newer version.

362409
Update RestSharp to 106.15.0. 350956
Resolved Issues Issue ID
After switching Outlook and running DUA with Source Profile selected, the Outlook status may display as 'not started' instead of 'reconfiguration completed'. 358570

When Outlook.exe is not found in the expected registry path, the agent will also search the ClickToRun path.

This will correct the Null Pointer Exception (NPE) error in the "SecureString ConvertToSecureString" when the Outlook.exe is not found.

360998
Desktop Update Agent version 1.2.1
Resolved Issues Issue ID

When DUA performs the Outlook reconfiguration task, Outlook will not be restarted immediately. It will be restarted after the agent has performed all of the required tasks.

If Outlook is running when DUA starts the OneDrive reconfiguration task, users are prompted to close Outlook before proceeding. This avoids Outlook potentially using files from OneDrive and blocking the local folder rename action.

352609
