Ability to pause a running Operation List
Sometimes I wish I could pause an Operation List (after the current operation completes, obviously), perform some manual steps, and then restart it from the same place.
UNIFYNow Invalid Cast Exception
Getting the following error in Event Broker. Running version: 4.0.4 Rev 1

WMI Deprecated from AAD Connect from version 1.4.18.0
In attempting to upgrade an existing UNIFYNow site to work with the latest AAD Connect version, I found that the microsoftidentityintegrationservice WMI namespace was missing. This was preventing the successful creation of an AAD Connect agent for the new AAD Connect host.
After locating articles on how to restore this namespace, I found this reference which stated "... the deprecated WMI endpoints for MIIS_Service have now been removed ...". Furthermore, the local ADSyncAdmins, ADSyncBrowse, ADSyncOperators and ADSyncPasswordSet groups no longer exist - these being the security roles associated to the WMI namespace.
Guidance in the above reference is now this: "Any WMI operations should now be done via PS cmdlets"
Does this mean that UNIFYNow will not support AAD Connect from version 1.4.18.0 onwards, or is work underway to change the agent to connect via PS?
Thanks Bob. I've updated the article to contain this information.
Support for Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA)
Microsoft has just published this MIM article which explains how to configure the MIM Sync and Server service accounts to be gMSA (ones that don't require passwords).
To make for a more compelling business case to leverage this at MIM sites it would help if UNIFYNow (and UNIFYBroker for that matter) also supported gMSA. This would help simplify MIM/Broker deployments at customer sites.
Can we please have this feature request put forward for consideration?
Cannot create sub components within an operations list
Hello,
After a recent upgrade to UNIFYNow 3 days ago, after this the service was working fine for some time and confirmed last night still working as expected. Though this morning when attempting to create sub operations (i.e check operation/schedule/listen operation/operation) I get presented with the following error:

There are no additional logs produced in the application log or the even viewer logs.
The version of UNIFYNow is v4.0.4. I have checked the other environments and they are not affected by the issues. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
IIS was likely caching the object or page, and causing issues. An IIS reset has solved the problem.
UNIFYNow logo rendered incorrectly in IE11
The UNIFYNow logo and label is not resizing correctly in IE.
IIS setup not loading external dependencies correctly, in this case CSS files. Logo displays correctly using the inbuilt web server. Investigation required to determine incorrect IIS configuration.
Error when opening web console after upgrade to 4.0.4
HI Guys,
I've recently upgrade UNIFYNow to 4.0.4. When i first did the upgrade the service started fine and the web console would open and I could interact with it. Coming back the next day, the service stops and starts fine but when trying to access the web console a get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Unify.Framework.Collections, Version=5.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=84b9288cb2633de4' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Server Error in '/' Application.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Unify.Framework.Collections, Version=5.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=84b9288cb2633de4' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Source Error:
The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:
1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:
<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>
or:
2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.
Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario. |
Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'Unify.Framework.Collections, Version=5.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=84b9288cb2633de4' could not be loaded.
<pre>WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Operation List Queue Management
Hi Guys,
Just a feature request that I think would bring some useful functionality. I have recently had some scenarios where queued operation lists have execute when the shouldn't have due to the scheduler running throughout a change. Or where I have accidentally queue a long running operation twice. Currently the only way to clear the queue is to restart the service, which then disposes of all other operations that have been queued.
I think it would be beneficial to be able to view and clear specified operations from the operation list queue. Let me know what you think or whether you need any further information.
Thanks,
Hayden
Safety Catch plugin
A new plugin is requested to convert the latest "Safety Catch" PowerShell script into an OOTB plugin for UNIFYNow. This script is located in DevOps here.
This plugin can then be used as part of an enhanced default configuration wizard - see separate feature request.
Revamp of the auto configuration wizard
The default configuration generated by the auto configuration wizard no longer meets the best practice model I expect of any UNIFYNow deployment - not without a few tweaks to save otherwise time consuming post install configuration.
Changes required include but are not limited to:
- Creation of a single global synchronisation operation in lieu of a separate one for each MA, which always starts with the FIM MA if there is one present;
- Auto-creating a default run history archive operation list;
- Incorporates the option of including a "Safety Catch" concept for each export/import excluding the FIM MA itself.
The above are the main improvements - the latter presumably requiring the bundling of an appropriate version of this script with the product, or a new plugin alternative.
