Release Notes Deploy (Version 2.22)

Tanium Deploy 2.22.326

Release Date: 28 November 2023

Improvements

• Tanium Deploy now requires Tanium End-User Notifications 1.16.12 or later.
• Tanium Deploy no longer requires Tanium Reporting as a strict dependency.

Resolved Issues

• Significantly improved page load times in environments with many software packages.
• Fixed an issue that could prevent an auto-imported software package from picking up gallery updates to the package.
• Fixed an issue that could cause the Deploy workbench to crash when viewing a maintenance window.
• Fixed an issue that could cause software package import to fail with the error "Unable to find imported package."
• Fixed an issue that could cause software system uptime rules to fail to evaluate on the endpoint.

Known Issues

• Software package deployments with a reboot and no post-notification will not rerun if the software package operation becomes applicable again. For best results, always include a post-notification on any deployment that includes a reboot.
• Changes to software bundles will not affect existing deployments of those bundles. Any existing bundle deployments must be stopped and reissued to deliver the updated bundle. Edits to software packages and new Latest Applicable packages do affect existing bundle deployments.
• In all versions of Deploy, configuring a Windows software package with a restricted operating system that uses a workstation type (such as Windows 10 & 11 - All Versions) will cause that software package to be Not Applicable on Windows Enterprise for Virtual Desktops operating systems used for Microsoft Azure virtual desktops.
• Deploying multi-platform bundles is not supported. If you deploy a bundle that has packages for different operating systems (for example, Windows and macOS packages in one bundle), the deployment does not run or report status.
