Issues that are fixed

OS deployment

If you have a remote management point (MP) that's in a different time zone than its primary site, when you deploy an OS to clients that are communicating with this MP, it creates a duplicate record in the database.

Either the task sequence progress bar or the task sequence debugger is not visible immediately after Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task until a restart occurs.

Importing a task sequence which includes references to driver packages does not import the driver package ID. Because of this issue, you needed to edit the task sequence and manually specify the Driver Package in the Upgrade Operating System task.

Content management

Content for applications deployed to client devices can incorrectly get removed from the client cache even when Persist content in the client cache option was set.

ContentLibraryCleanup.exe fails if any package is found missing on the distribution point, and reports an error resembling the following:

System.InvalidOperationException: This content library cannot be cleaned up right now because package <Package ID> is not fully installed.
  at Microsoft.ConfigurationManager.ContentLibraryCleanup.CLContentLibrary.LoadDistributedPackagesFromProvider()
  at Microsoft.ConfigurationManager.ContentLibraryCleanup.CLContentLibrary.LoadValidContentData()

ContentLibraryCleanup.exe takes a long time and may fail after 5 minutes with an error resembling the following:

System.Management.ManagementException: Unable to load valid packages. Please check the specified site server location and ensure you have access to the site server and the provider. 
  ---> System.Management.ManagementException: Call cancelled 
  at System.Management.ManagementException.ThrowWithExtendedInfo(ManagementStatus errorCode)
  at System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection.ManagementObjectEnumerator.MoveNext() 
  at Microsoft.ConfigurationManager.ContentLibraryCleanup.CLContentLibrary.LoadPackageToContentFromProvider() 
  at Microsoft.ConfigurationManager.ContentLibraryCleanup.CLContentLibrary.LoadValidContentData()

Content download history data that powers the Client sources dashboard in the Configuration Manager console is discarded if the client is offline for more than 2 days.

Reassigning a distribution point to another primary site may fail if the server previous had a site system role which was uninstalled. A message resembling the following is recorded in the sitecomp.log:
```
Server is already part of SMS site <SiteCode>.
```

When you use a remote content library, content for a package or operating system image is not deleted from the content library after you delete the object.

Configuration Manager Console

After you select a device in the Devices node, the Collections tab does not populate any results if the user does not have access to the default security scope for operations.

Collection Evaluation Queue shows incorrect count of collections in the Incremental Evaluation Queue.

Client management

Clients on internet using a PKI certificate do not switch to the next available internet-based Management Point or Cloud management gateway after a communication failure occurs.

Clients are incorrectly considered to be in coexistence mode if Intune enrollment fails.

Protection

Script to set up BitLocker portals (MBAMWebSiteInstaller.ps1) fails if a custom report exists at the root of the report server. An error resembling the following is reported by the script:
```
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.WrongItemTypeException: The operation you are attempting on item '<Custom Report Name>' is not allowed for this item type.
```

Software Updates

When a software update point (SUP) is reconfigured to require SSL, clients that were scanning for software updates using that SUP may switch to another SUP.

Run summarization task for a software update deployment fails to run on the central administration site (CAS). An error resembling the following is reported in statesys.log:

*** exec spProcessSingleSummarizationRequests
*** [42000][2812][Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Could not find stored procedure 'spTask_SUM_AssignmentComplianceEvaluator'. : spProcessSingleSummarizationRequests

Software Update Point Synchronization status node in the console shows success even when a Microsoft 365 Apps Update failed to synchronize.

An available software update deployment shows as Required in the Deployments tab under collection properties.

Site infrastructure

Simulated client operation tasks performed to monitor scenario health are visible in the Client Operations node in the Configuration Manager console. These tasks are executed every 30 minutes by default, and fill up the Client Operations node.

Real-time management

Registry entity in CMPivot does not return the value of the (Default) property.
