Profile Management

What’s new

What’s new in 2305

This release includes the following new features and enhancements. It also addresses several issues that help to improve overall performance and stability.

Support for user-level policy settings

By default, most Profile Management policies work only at the machine level. With the user-level policy settings feature enabled, those policies can work at the user level, and user-level settings override machine-level settings.

This feature is useful for organizations where different users or user groups require different Profile Management settings. For more information, see Enable and configure user-level policy settings.

Enhancements to Outlook container

These enhancements simplify the process of fully enabling Outlook containers while offering a high level of availability for Outlook service:

  • Automatic enabling of Cached Exchange mode

    Previously, to have OST files downloaded to Outlook containers, you had to manually enable the Use Cached Exchange Mode to download email to an Outlook data file setting for each user’s Exchange account. Profile Management now automatically enables this setting for users when all conditions for Outlook containers to work are met.

  • Automatic switching between Cached Exchange mode and Online mode.

    • When the container is detached, Outlook automatically switches to Online mode.
    • When the container is reattached, Outlook automatically switches back to Cached Exchange mode.

    This enhancement offers a high level of availability for the Outlook service.

For more information, see Enable native Outlook search experience.

Always On Tracing logs

The Always on Tracing feature is now available for Profile Management. This feature provides detailed logs that can help identify critical problems with Profile Management, thereforce reducing the need to reproduce problems. For more information, see Collect the Always On Tracing log file.

Support for Google Drive in Mirroring Files for Sync mode

Profile Management containers now support Google Drive both in Mirroring Files for Sync mode and Streaming Files for Sync mode, giving you more flexibility in choosing cloud storage.
