Identification is not displayed in Symantec Management Agent setting	427225
Modern Report Viewer fixes	Fixed issues and enhancements related to how Modern Report Viewer displays or interact with data: Right click menu action doesn't work if there is more than 13 items selected Implement search across all columns Ability to Group by Date A few Patch actions aren't available in right click menu Improved the performance

Modern Report Viewer fixes	Fixed issues related to how Modern Report Viewer displays or interact with data: Today condition behaves incorrectly Implement grid personalization Value can't be used in Asset Advanced view dialog If a few columns are without data then ERR shown in pivot mode Not declared 0/1 boolean as No/Yes, or False/True values can't be filtered in report"
SMA does not properly identify logged on user in a hybrid EntraID joined device with PF	Improvements were added: Implemented processing of custom resource names/keys policy for computer/user accounts that belong to AD. SMA on a machine joined to AD/hybrid AD reports the new resource key "directoryid" for both computer and primary user resources. If AZ import also reports "directoryid" resource key, then that key will be used to match and merge user resources, so the association between the computer and primary user will be automatically updated as soon as basic inventory is processed. How to use Custom resource key and custom resource name rules for "Custom Keys and Names Policy" and AD or AZ import rules, see KB 385966
A critical error has occurred on this page. Check the Altiris Logs for more information	438583
NSEs stuck in queue and process only after Altiris Client Message Dispatcher service restart	Improvements were done on how we process NSEs. Among some SQL stored procedures improvements and config files updates: 1. Added new core setting "EvtQueueStaleProcessingMinutes" 2. New data class added ('NSE Metadata Statistics' FA99C9E9-7717-4C43-A630-284484DAB4A5)
Core Performance shows Active Threads at 0 or 1 with lots of NSE's to process	422766
