As Promised, Here's the Update Rollups for Service Manager 2012 R2 and SP1

Late last week, Microsoft suggested that Update Rollups for Service Manager 2012 would release on Tuesday. The surprising part here is that Microsoft rarely puts a hard date on anything, because things tend to change at the last minute or last second. But, late Tuesday night, the Rollups rolled out and are now available for download.

If you're running Service Manager 2012 R2, you'll want this one…

For those that haven't yet made the jump to R2, Update Rollup 6 (UR6) for System center 2012 SP1 also became available.

An Update Rollup is a single installation that contains all the fixes and updates provided since either the last major product update or since the last Update Rollup was released.

Fixes in UR2 for Service Manager 2012 R2

  1. For users who have both smpt and sip endpoints, Service Manager picks up the Lync “sip” endpoint even when emailing users from the console

  2. After selecting "Service Requests with Service Level Warning", an error occurs about one hour later

  3. After selecting the "Assigned to me" view, a FullAdapter Exception occurs about one hour later

  4. Service Manager console maximized mode fixes

    • The console when maximized is slow / laggy and constantly has upwards of 30% CPU utilization when running in maximized mode

    • Context menus in the SM console don’t render where expected and instead show up at the top-right hand corner of the main window

    • Scroll bars for the work items preview pane do not render when running in full screen mode, and even if they do, they are inactive and cannot be used (the slider refuses to move)

    • Forms/Wizards don’t always render properly and only have the left navigation pane rendered with the right area blank

    • When editing / creating Request Offerings User Prompts are not rendered properly

  7. The attachment and associated details of the Release Record cannot be retrieved after it is marked as ‘Closed’

  8. Request Offerings form takes a long time to render when creating Service Requests from Request Offerings

  9. Console crashes when attempting to create a Service Request from a template on which the analyst is set using the "Assign to Analyst" task

  10. When creating a Service Request using a request offering that maps user input to a property on an activity, the Service Manager console encounters an error and closes

  11. SM console shows a generic SQL exception instead of the detailed Data Collision exception when running in a non-English environment

  12. The Configuration Manager Connector does not handle updates to DeviceHasSoftwareItemInstalled correctly causing a divergence in the data synchronized between the SM and CM databases

  13. When grooming a call to the p_DataPurging sproc results in an 8623 error with message: The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not produce a query plan
