What’s new in User Management Tool 1.7.6

User Management Tool 1.7.6 includes these improvements and fixes:

• If the UMT cannot read the user’s disabled state, we leave the user as “unknown” and populate a message requesting the UMT to be run in elevated mode (or with elevated permissions).
• To run the UMT in elevated mode - Right-click the User Management Tool program icon and select “Run as Administrator”. When using UMT for scheduling tasks, select “Run with Highest Privilege” when creating the task.
• Fixed a bug where if a Group rule is added to the UMT and a user in that group is not in ShareFile (or going to be in ShareFile via User rule) then that user was being created as a client.
• If the user adds a ShareFile secondary email address through the ShareFile web application, the UMT is now aware of such actions.
• Fixed a bug where after a rule has been created and successfully run, the Refresh button fails to show any newly added members of the group in the Actions column unless UMT is restarted.

Tip

If you encounter an error referencing “Try enabling AD Diagnostic Logging” or “Try running UMT elevated”, you can:

1. Run the UMT tool as an Administrator by right-clicking the UMT Program Icon and selecting Run As…Administrator, or editing the shortcut properties to always Run as Admin within the Advanced Tab.
2. When working with scheduled tasks - select “Run with highest privileges” when creating a Task.

What’s new in User Management Tool 1.7.5

User Management Tool 1.7.5 includes performance enhancements.

What’s new in User Management Tool 1.7.4

User Management Tool 1.7.4 includes these enhancements:

• Update to the Groups tab. Groups no longer load automatically. Users must search for them individually. Note: if you do not add any text in the search field and click “search” it attempts to load all the companies groups.
  • There are two settings for how you can search for Groups in the Groups tab:
    • Contains: Returns all groups with names containing one or more specified search terms
    • Starts With: Returns all groups with names starting with the specified search term
• Returned Groups are now reordered alphabetically
• Email notifications are sent when a client is prompted to an employee

What’s new in User Management Tool 1.7.3

User Management Tool 1.7.3 includes these enhancements:

• When you update a rule that is part of scheduled jobs, the User Management Tool displays a message to remind you to update the jobs.

What’s new in User Management Tool 1.7.1

• A new global option lets you choose whether to continue scheduled jobs when the User Management Tool cannot process a rule due to a problem such as a missing last name or email address in an Active Directory record. Previously, the tool always stopped jobs when it encountered an error. By default, the User Management Tool now continues to the next rule after an error occurs.

  The tool also skips subsequent rules that are based on the same AD object as a rule that resulted in an error. For example, if the action to create users for a particular AD group fails, the tool also skips an action to create a distribution group for the same AD group. This prevents the creation of a distribution group with members that are not yet created as ShareFile users.

• The Options page includes a Save or Close button so you know whether your changes have been saved.

• Scheduled jobs can now use the proxy settings configured for the User Management Tool even if those jobs are run under a different account, such as a Windows service account. This feature requires configuration, as described in the “Configure a proxy server” section of Configure the User Management Tool.

What’s new in User Management Tool 1.7

• Support for migrating a group of AD users to a different StorageZone, including Citrix-managed and on-premises zones.

  To get started, click the new Zones tab in the User Management Tool.

• Per-user storage quota for ShareFile files and folders. Specify the quota when provisioning accounts with the User Management Tool.

  In the Edit Users Rule dialog box, you can choose to use the default storage quota specified in the ShareFile account-wide preferences or you can specify a storage quota to override the default value.

  A user who is in multiple AD groups is allowed the largest quota specified in the groups.

Fixed issues

Issues fixed in User Management Tool 1.7.5:

• Added rule that prevents a user from entering more than 50 characters in the company field within a rule (SFUMT-53)
• Corrected issue where UMT might fail to import users in a group if users are in a particular named OU (SFUMT-51)

Issues fixed in User Management Tool 1.7.4:

• Fixed layout issues and registry errors (SFUMIT-40)

Issues fixed in User Management Tool 1.7.3:

• The User Management Tool does not support provisioning user accounts into restricted StorageZones. [#SFUMT-42]
• For some accounts, scheduled tasks assign all new users to the wrong zone. [#SFUMT-34]

Issues fixed in User Management Tool 1.7:

• The User Management Tool installer prompts you to install .NET Framework 4.0 instead of the required .NET Framework 4.5. [#17846]
• The User Management Tool does not indicate that a distribution group was not created because it contains more than the maximum of 2000 users allowed by ShareFile. [#127822 and #91356]
• A scheduled job will not run if you save the job with the default Start On date. To work around this issue, type a different Start On date and then change the date back to the current date. [#87453]

• The User Management Tool allows invalid values for custom storage quotas. [#89554]

Known issues

• If your site uses ShareFile Two-Step Verification, you must use a password that is specific to the User Management Tool to log on to it.
• The User Management Tool will create a new distribution group if it finds a distribution group name in ShareFile that matches an AD group name. The tool will not combine the AD group with the existing distribution group.
