The OneDrive reconfiguration step drops all OneDrive connections on a computer when a restart is needed when switching one profile with the Preserve Existing Folder option enabled. Accounts that were not switched will need to log in to OneDrive again. This affects computers with multiple user profiles. |

If the Desktop Update Agent is stopped suddenly (for example, due to an unexpected computer restart or stopping the agent through Task Manager), On Demand Migration will not be updated with the in-flight results. If progress in the agent is stopped between steps by choosing Cancel, the state of each step is reported to On Demand Migration and the On Demand Migration dashboard will reflect what was completed. |

|
Accessibility improvements:
|
471574 |
| The Desktop Update Agent can now reconfigure the new Microsoft Teams application. | 479017 |
| Resolved Issues | Issue ID |
|---|---|
| Corrected OneDrive setup issue where end user could be incorrectly prompted to choose a new OneDrive folder location during 'PreserveExisting' reconfiguration | 460174 |
| Error when Outlook profile is not found. | 478671 |
| Corrected minor localization issues. | 472691 |
January 2024
| Enhancement | Issue ID |
|---|---|
| The Desktop Update Agent now allows the underlying .NET Framework to choose the best TLS version available in Windows. TLS 1.3 will be used where it is available. | 462429 |
| 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. |
464126 |
| Added digital signatures to the Microsoft-derived scripts included with the Desktop Update Agent, which are used in the Office 365 application licensing step. | 467724 |
November 2023
| Enhancement | Issue ID |
|---|---|
| Ability to specify a domain to use for switch application tasks. This is necessary when the DNS domain is moving at the same time as the users but is not being set as the primary SMTP address in the target tenant. | 460649 |
October 2023
| Enhancement | Issue ID |
|---|---|
| Desktop Update Agent can detect the new version of Microsoft Teams. At this time the agent cannot reconfigure the application. This update provides only detection and related messaging. (See Known issues.) | 439471 |
| Resolved Issues | Issue ID |
|---|---|
| Handling of the PowerShell configuration scripts updated so that when errors occur, but are ignored within the PowerShell scripts, the agent will not report the script status as Failed. | 455167 |
|
Agent fails to run the Outlook reconfiguration step where PST files are associated with the new profile. |
445809 |
| After an Outlook switch, the 'From' field in Outlook displays 'Microsoft Exchange' instead of the name of the sender. | 443287 |

| User interface redesigned to conform to On Demand Migration look and feel. | 398170 |
| Report agent version and FQDN to ODM when querying for reconfiguration task steps, to aid in tracking agent readiness and in troubleshooting. | 417541 |

|---|---|
| Changed the method used to create the Outlook profile during the Outlook reconfiguration. This eliminates issues where a "Helper dialog" would appear and prompt for basic credentials. | 418963 |
| Improved troubleshooting information sent to ODM when reconfiguration steps fail, to speed up issue resolution. | 412345 |
| Agent can process Teams reconfiguration when multiple users are signed into Teams on the same computer. | 423556 |

|
If the agent is unable to rename the OneDrive folder during the migration , OneDrive must be restarted. This will allow the folder to be renamed and the agent to process any remaining steps. If needed, users are presented with the option to either restart OneDrive immediately or have the rename triggered on their next restart. |
362169 |
| Resolved Issues | Issue ID |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Optimization: When no eligible profiles are found, On Demand Migration requests will not be made. | 385561 |
| Fix that prevents the 32-bit agent from running unnecessarily on computers with 64-bit OS and Outlook. | 386464 |

October 2022
| Enhancement | Issue ID |
|---|---|
|

357162 |

| Ability to skip the migration status validation during the configuration of the switch application task. | 356643 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
