Technical Advisories v9.1
● In the Remote Management Console, fields for policies with numeric values accept a "+" or "-" character immediately
preceding the policy value. To work around this issue, ensure that these characters are not included in policies' values before
the policies are committed. [DDPMTR-765]
● When running DDP|E with Deferred Activation, Cloud Edition policies may not flow from the DDP Server. If this occurs, in
DDP Remote Management Console, check the list of endpoints. The list includes both the host name and the Machine ID
for the computer. To work around this issue, ensure that Cloud Edition policies are set for the endpoint represented by the
computer host name. DDP|E policies must continue to be set on the endpoint represented by the computer Machine ID.
