Known Issues

MIM Service and Portal

MIM Service hotfix may fail to install with UpdateAppConfigSettingsInPatch custom action error reported if you have modified MIM Service configuration file and removed default sources from <diagnostics> section keeping <dynamicLogging mode="true"> enabled. Remove <dynamicLogging mode="true"> section from MIM Service configuration file if installer fails with this error and re-apply this hotfix.

MIM Service build 4.6.607.0 hotfix may fail to install when Group-Managed Service Account (gMSA) is used. To work around this issue, update the following registry key value to replace with "None" before running the update:  

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Service\MailServerType

After the update is successfully installed, change back to the original value.  

MIM Service and Portal Language Packs

When you install MIM Service and Portal language pack update, due to localization fixes, all default localized RCDC resource strings, constants, localized attribute names and localized binding names are overwritten with new values. Make sure to back up changes you made to default localized values before applying this hotfix and manually revert them back after the hotfix is installed, manually import them back and restart IIS.

Restart requirement  

You must restart the computer after you apply the add-ins and extensions package (MIMAddinsExtensions_x(64/86)_ 5009981.msp). You may also have to restart the server components. 

After installing this update, it's highly recommended to clear the browser cache on all systems that access the MIM Portal.
