Migration Manager for Exchange and “Additional Parameters” behavior for Legacy Agents (4354210)

When using Additional Parameters and adding a new parameter this parameter will be added to all agent instances. Removing this entry will not remove the parameter from agents configuration files.  When the need to remove a parameter is needed you must remove the parameter manually from the config.ini file on the agent host itself.

Consider this behavior please be very careful when implementing or adding new or additional parameters, and add them only if you are absolutely sure that you need them. When testing it is advisable to add them to the Config.INI file manually.

If a parameter was already added to the Config.INI and is present in the INI file then this parameter can be updated/replaced by creating/updating an entry under Additional Parameters. In some cases the parameter can be eliminated by setting it to a “neutral” or disabled value.  Removing the manually added parameter under Additional Parameters will not remove it from the agents Config.ini file.

This was done to prevent users from damaging the Config.ini file of the agent, to prohibit accidental removal of important parameters, because without some of the parameters the agent cannot work.


This behavior should be taken into consideration when enabling “Additional Parameters” and when using them, as instructed in some of the KB articles:
