On Demand Migration Desktop Update Agent (DUA)
Release Notes
April 2026
To complete a migration project and reconfigure a user's applications, agents must be configured and deployed by administrators, then run on users' workstations.
Desktop Update Agent provides the ability to manage users' application reconfiguration activities from a single view within On Demand Migration. Migration administrators can configure which applications will be reconfigured, track each application’s status, and send notices to remind users if required.

If a token is generated using a passphrase that contains a $ character, and if the passphrase is provided inside a double-quoted string, the DUA install will exit with an error message.
Workarounds:
1. Use single-quotes to contain the passphrase.
2. Use a passphrase that does not contain this special character.
2. Escape the $ character with a backtick character in front of it, e.g. for a passphrase abc$123 enter abc`$123 |
