Issues that are fixed

• Client computers incorrectly report as being on an intranet when they receive a 404-redirect request from an internet-facing network.

• The PXE responder does not use the value set in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\DP\RamDiskTFTPBlockSize for boot files in an operating system image.

• The "Send a smile" and "Send a frown" feedback options are updated to support TLS 1.2.

• After you use the "Send a smile" or "Send a frown" feedback options to include a screenshot from the Configuration Manager console, the resulting .PNG file cannot be deleted until the console is closed.

• Feedback that was submitted through the UploadOfflineFeedback.exe tool does not include screenshots as expected.

• The OSDDoNotLogCommand task sequence variable does not affect the Command Line value printed in the smsts.log file.

• After promoting a passive site server, the default boot image refers to package source on the previously active site server. This can cause boot image packages to fail if the previously active server is no longer available.

• Windows Server 2019 updates are not shown in the wizard when scheduling updates for offline servicing of an operating system image.

• Notification messages displayed on a client computer by Restart Client feature (reboot coordinator) may show the incorrect local date/ time format.

  CPullDPPkgContJob::LoadContentJobFromXML() unable to read DP location or rank!
  CPullDPPkgContJob::LoadContentJobFromXML() could not fully load job! Malformed or incomplete XML. Job has failed.

• This may occur because of intermittent network failures between the pull-distribution point and the management point.

• After selecting Devices from the Assets and Compliance section of the Configuration Manager console, the view shows the Endpoint Protection tab instead of the home tab.

• A semicolon that is used to separate multiple email messages from the Approve application via email properties window is overwritten with a comma. This can prevent email messages from being sent to multiple recipients as expected.

  Trying https://{distribution_point}/CCMTOKENAUTH_SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/{package_ID}.
  Content source is a DP token auth capable, but DP auth token is not available

• Clients that are configured for internet-based client management may fail to run software distribution packages from a distribution point in a fast network boundary.

• Application content downloads that occur during deployment of a new operating system image installation fail to use the Windows PE Peer Cache as expected. This occurs even when the SMSTSPeerDownload and SMSTSPeerRequestPort task sequence variables are configured. Error entires that resemble the following are recorded in the DataTransferService.log file:

  CCMHTTP] ERROR: URL=https://{host}:{port}/SCCM_BranchCache$/Content_{Content_GUID}, Port={port}, Options=480, Code=0, Text=CCM_E_BAD_HTTP_STATUS_CODE
  Request to https://{host}:{port}/SCCM_BranchCache$/Content_{Content_GUID} failed with 401 - Access denied
  GetDirectoryList_HTTP('https://{host}:{port}/SCCM_BranchCache$/Content_{Content_GUID}') failed with code 0x80070005.

• The Message Processing Engine (MPE) that is used by the Run Scripts and CMPivot features cannot process Active Directory User data if there is an ampersand (&) in the OU path. Error entries tha resemble the following are recorded in the SMS_Message_Processing_Engine.log:

  XML parsing: line 1, character 141, illegal name character

• Clients fail to download task sequence content from other peer-cache enabled computers. This casues content to be transferred from distribution points instead.

• After updating to Configuration Manager current branch, version 1810, the All Package and Program deployments to a specified computer report does not correctly display information for a specific program when selected.

• The client authentication certificate is not updated in Azure Storage when a cloud management gateway distribution point is installed CMG-DP is installed in a Central Administration Site (CAS) environment.

• Clients do not automatically wake using the wake on LAN feature when deadlines for mandatory software distribution, software update, or task sequence deployments are reached.

  Running: "C:\Windows\system32\CompatTelRunner.exe" -m:appraiser.dll -f:DoScheduledTelemetryRun ent
  Executing command line: Run Appraiser
  CreateProcess failed. Code(0x80070002)
  Command line execution failed (80070002)
  CommandLine.Execute() failed.
  CM365ASystemTask:RunAppraiser() failed. 0x80070002.

• The Delete duplicate system discovery database maintenance task fails and returns error entries that resemble the following in the Smsdbmon.log file:

The conflict occurred in database "ConfigMgr", table "dbo.ClientOperation"

  This occurs due to an error running a client notification-related stored procedure.

• The SMS Executive service (smsexec.exe) may terminate unexpectedly after Active Directory User Discovery runs if the site processes data that has an ampersand (&) in the name.
  
  Note This crash is inconsistent and may not coincide with every run of Active Directory User Discovery.
