What's in the Release Notes

Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager™ offers personalization and dynamic policy configuration across any virtual, physical, and cloud-based environment. Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager can simplify end-user profile management with a single and scalable solution. IT can simply map infrastructure (including networks and printer mappings) and dynamically set policies for end-users. You can experience quick, personalized, and consistent access to your Windows workspace and applications. Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager provides a secured by default approach by logging the users out in case the Flex config files path is not available at logon.

Note:

License. Starting with Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager 2203, you are no longer prompted to select a license file during installation. The Management Console provides an option to configure a license and save it in the configuration share. If you are upgrading to DEM 2203 or later, a previously provided license file will still remain valid. Any future updates to the license must be performed using the Management Console. See Managing the License.

What's New

Updated Components: This release updates the main product components, Omnissa DEM FlexEngine, and Omnissa DEM Management Console. Application Profiler, Helpdesk Support Tool, and SyncTool are not updated for the 2209 release.

• Support for skipping the profile archive Import/Export based on the user or device group membership.

• Support for skipping the removal of local profile at logoff based on the user or device group membership.

• Support for Windows 10 Version 22H2 and Windows 11 Version 22H2.

Resolved Issues

DEM does not run during first logon after a reboot

In some scenarios, the DEM agent does not run during the first logon after a reboot. Subsequent logons work as expected, until the system is rebooted again.

This issue is resolved in this release.

Note: Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager 2206 already addressed this issue, but that fix had to be enabled via the WinlogonFix configuration setting. As of Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager 2209, this WinlogonFix configuration setting is no longer required.

Known Issues

• HTML Access File Transfer
  Omnissa Blast HTML Access File Transfer depends on the Omnissa Blast "Configure clipboard redirection" policy setting. To enable download functionality, the "Configure clipboard redirection" policy must be set to "Enabled in both directions" or "Enabled server to client-only". For more information, see View Agent Configuration ADMX Template Settings.
  Workaround: HTML Access File Transfer also depends on the Horizon Smart Policy "Clipboard" setting. If this setting is configured to prevent copying from agent to client, the download functionality is disabled.

• Cannot display button text on some Asian versions of Windows operating systems
  On some Asian versions of Windows operating systems, the button text in the Management Console, the Application Profiler, and the Helpdesk Support Tool might be missing.
  Workaround: Specify the /NoScale command line argument when you start the Management Console, Application Profiler, and the Helpdesk Support Tool.

• Button text truncated on some Asian versions of Windows operating systems
  On some Asian versions of Windows operating systems, the button text in the Self-Support Tool is truncated if a German Multilingual User Interface is used.
  Workaround: No workaround exists for this issue.

• You might encounter limitations with the Windows 10 Start Menu Windows Common Setting
  Configuration settings for the Start menu itself, such as Show most used apps and Use Start full screen, are not saved.
  Workaround: No workaround exists for this issue.

• You might encounter limitations with the Microsoft Edge Windows Common Setting
  The Open Microsoft Edge with setting and the default search provider are not saved. Also, Microsoft Edge settings cannot roam between systems with different bitness.
  Workaround: No workaround exists for this issue.

• COM servers do not trigger DirectFlex processing
  
  Note: For any instance of <Previous_Company_Name>, please replace this string with the actual name of the previous company.
  
  In older versions of Dynamic Environment Manager, instantiating an out-of-process COM object hosted by a DirectFlex-enabled executable triggered DirectFlex processing. With the default DEM configuration, this behavior does not exist.
  Workaround: To enable the old behavior, set REG_DWORD value DirectFlex to 1 in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Immidio\Flex Profiles key (for Group Policy-based setups), or in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\<Previous_Company_Name>, Inc.\<Previous_Company_Name> UEM\Agent\Configuration key (for NoAD).
