Description

Discovery in Paris adds that WMI support back OOTB, but to allow Discovery to work, the customizations in the update sets needs reverting, and the update sets backed-out.

As the solution to this problem a fix script will be added to the upgrade code to automatically back-out the several differetn versions of the "Revert_To_Legacy_WMI" update sets with these sys_ids:

  • df3ef4c75312330093afddeeff7b12e5

A communication was also sent out to all the customers identified as having applied this update sets.

  1. Take a Madrid, New York or Orlando instance
  2. Apply 1 or more of the update sets attached
  3. Upgrade to Paris
  4. The update set are still applied causing Windows Installed Software discovery to brea
