SMLets Exchange Connector v2.0-RC2

Summary
Release Candidate 2 for v2.0 connector that is based off of v1.5 that shifts configuration from the script to a central Management Pack.

New Features

  • Introduction of a Settings based Management Pack to persist values between upgrades

GENERAL
Identified an issue around Template selection that would vary from environment to environment. As such, the logic for how Templates are retrieved was altered while still preserving any current Template selections that have been made. This single change cascades into other areas that require Template selection (e.g. Multiple Mailbox Configuration).

Barring significant issues, the tentative plans for the final release of v2.0 are to align RC2 with the completion of v1.6 near the end of the month. As such, this version's Management Pack is the most representative of the final release.

FIXED ISSUES FROM ALPHA1, ALPHA2, BETA 1, and RC1

  • Settings MP: If an Incident, Service Request, Change Request, or Problem Form's appearance were customized via the Authoring Tool. Then Templates created after the import of that form customization MP within the SCSM Console produce Templates that aren't available for selection in the SMLets Exchange Connector
  • Settings MP: Some WPF controls appear cut off
  • Settings MP: The title of the Settings window reads "beta 3"
  • Settings MP: The Private keyword can't be defined
  • PowerShell: SCOM AD Group doesn't pull from the MP
  • Settings MP: Decimal values on text boxes requires some finesse in that if you want to enter 25.4, you must type 254, and then place the decimal
  • Settings MP: Multiple mailboxes can only be deleted one at a time e.g. remove, save, open, remove, save, and so on and so on.
  • Settings MP: ACS Priority Scoring feature still requires editing of Get-ACSWorkItemPriority
  • Settings MP: Some fields lack validation for text patterns (ends with "/", prevent special characters)
    • Keywords should not include brackets [] or # or : symbols. Just type the word and the word alone
    • Cireson Portal URL must end with a forward slash - /
  • Settings MP: Problem Support Group can't be set. This is intentional and will remain until Cireson releases their own support for the feature. This functionality requires at least Portal v9.3.1
  • PowerShell: Custom events path isn't referenced from the MP

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Settings MP: Some fields lack validation for text patterns (comma separated)
    • Announcement and SCOM features that use individual users must be separated by a comma - ,
  • Settings MP: To enable ACS keywords for Cireson RO/KA you need to turn the Cireson feature on, save, re-open and then check off ACS features.

KNOWN THINGS

  • Settings MP: Primary Work Item Template and Multi-Mailbox Template require all Templates to be defined to pass validation
