Issue/Introduction

What is the requirement of the use of .NET with UIM?

We have .NET versions 3.5 and 4.5 and these have been classed as Sev 5 vulnerability.

Environment

Release : UIM 20.3/20.4

Component : hub/robots/probes

Cause

Legacy dependencies on the use of IM

Resolution

UIM itself does not require .NET to run.

However, the Infrastructure Manager (IM), legacy client, needs .NET 3.5 (version required) to render some of the probe GUIs (not all - only some). 
 
So you must run the .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 or 4.5 only on the system where IM is running, to be able to render some of the probes.
 
Examples of some of these monitoring probes:

 
But not service/architecture basic probes. 
 
Summary
.NET is not a requirement for UIM (or for a secondary hub) to run, but only for systems running the IM client to render some of the .NET probes that have this dependency.

Additional Information

•  Engineering created a feature F122180 (internal reference) and  Upgraded .Net Framework version for all probes to v4.8. 

•   Attached to this KB is HOTFIXED ad_server 2.03 package t2 build that works without the dependency on .NET 3.5
