This time round we have updates for:
- Orchestrator (Tradditional)
- Service Management Automation (SMA)
- Service Provider Foundation (SPF)
- Data Protection Manager (DPM)
- Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)
- Operations Manager (SCOM) - This is now delayed
- Service Manager (SCSM)

Orchestrator (Tradditional)& Service Management Automation (SMA)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3069115Fixes:
Orchestrator- The Monitor SNMP Trap activity publishes incorrect values for strings when a Microsoft SNMP Trap Service connection is used.
- When you select Stop Job or Stop Runbook, you receive the following error message:
- Error executing the current operation. Cannot change the job status to 'Canceled'.
- SMA runbook execution fails if a PowerShell execution policy is set to "Unrestricted" through a Group Policy Object.
- When you try to save or import a runbook in SMA, sometimes the following error in is logged in the event logs: Error occurred while uploading media resource.
Service Provider Foundation (SPF)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3069355Fixes:
- General API changes for quality improvements
Data Protection Manager (DPM)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3065246New Features:
- Windows 10 Support
- Ability to use an alternate DPM Server to recover from Azure Backup vault
Fixes:
- Hyper-V Replica Backup preference functionality change.
- You try to create a new Protection Group or change the Protection Group but DPM sometimes does not show the latest folder structure on the File Server.
- When you open the Recovery tab and try to obtain all the recovery points for a data source by using the “Show all recovery points” option, DPM does not show online recovery points. With this update, DPM shows online recovery points also. However, in case that you have many online recovery points, it might take some time to fetch and display all recovery points.
- End User Recovery/SSRT may not work in some cases for mirrored SQL databases.
- You receive an error while you install DPM update rollups.
- The Azure portal has some restrictions on Import Job name and Storage Account Name strings. These validations were missing in DPM causing an error when you try to transfer initial backup copy Offline to Azure by using the Azure import/export functionality.
- You cannot protect an SQL database on an Availability Group (AG) in case different AGs have the same database name.
- In some cases, alerts resolved in DPM are not synced up in the DPM Central Console.
- If you try to protect large number of VMs in a single Protection Group and have the VMM Helper Service enabled, few backups may fail and you receive the following exception: System.TimeoutException
Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3066340Two other updates are available, but don't seem to have a KB page yet - KB3078314 & KB3078315
New Features:
- Support for Windows 10 Client Operating System
- Support for new Linux Operating Systems
- Support for VMWare vCenter 5.5 management scenarios
- Support for Multiple External IP Addresses per Virtual Network
- Option to Reassociate Orphaned virtual machines to their Service or VM role
- Support for VMM DHCP Extension PXE/TFP Forwarding
Fixes:
Too many to list, check the KB Articles.However, I haven't spotted it, but I was hoping for a fix to the constant MSI reinstallation issues.
I'll check further and update.
Service Manager (SCSM)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3063263Fixes:
- Service Manager does not let users save any changes in a form, and the user receives the following error message. This issue occurs if any workflow or another user has made changes to same item at the same time. - Fixed (Kindof)
- Employee-Manager relationship is not established when both the users are imported through different Active Directory connectors.
- MPSync Data Warehouse job stops responding very frequently because deployer jobs in Data Warehouse try to re-create already existing Primary & Foreign keys.
- During execution of the Active Directory connector, the Console may experience a significant decrease in performance because the Active Directory connector performs a full sync after every Domain Controller failover.
- With this update installed, the Active Directory connector should sync only those items which have changed after a previous sync, including after a Domain Controller failover.
- If a user changes from having a manager in Active Directory not to having a manager, the relationship is not removed or updated in the configuration management database (CMDB).
- The Get-SCDWInfraLocations cmdlet (included in Update Rollup 5) is improved to support Automation and all PowerShell standards including the following:
- Now it is renamed to “Get-SCDWInfraLocation” – It was done to make it follow powershell naming convention standards.
- Originally it expected “DWServer” parameter but now it was removed. Now it accepts the same parameters as other DW Cmdlets and parameter “ComputerName” can be used to pass DW Server name. and the parameter “Credential” is used for passing Credentials to log on to the DW Server. These parameters are same across most of the DW Cmdlets.
- Now it returns an object to Powershell pipeline instead of just text output. It enables this Cmdlet to be automation friendly which means this Cmdlet can be used in scripting.
- Default format of the output is Table format and can be customized.
- Detailed Help documentation is added to the Cmdlet.
- The Actual Start Date and Actual End Date fields are not populated for most activities. After this update is installed, these fields should be populated for all types of activities in Service Manager.
- The Service Manager console crashes when you try to open an email message with a colon (:) in its name that was attached to an Incident through Exchange Connector (such as for prefixes “RE:” and “FW:” that are added by Outlook).
- The SLA information that appears in the Service Manager console does not reflect an updated status in Data Warehouse if there are multiple status changes during extract.
- The request offering wizard displays a cryptic "XML parsing error" and prevents the user from continuing with the request offering creation. This causes a problem if management packs are changed in Visual Studio (or any program that "pretty-prints" XML).
