Release Notes
On Demand Migration Desktop Update Agent (DUA)
Release Notes
May 2023
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.
These release notes provide information about the On Demand Migration Desktop Update Agent deployment.

Desktop Update Agent version 2.0
|
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
|
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
|
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 |
| 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
|
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 |
Desktop Update Agent version 1.2.0
| Ability to retain OneDrive file locations when reconfiguring a OneDrive application. |
