Update Rollup 2.1 for System Center 2016 Virtual Machine Manager

In addition to the fixes in Update Rollup 2 for System Center 2016 Virtual Machine Manager, the fixes for the following issues are included in this update rollup:

• You can't update VM hardware profile properties for VMs with dynamic memory after you install Update Rollup 2. The error that you receive occurs because the startup memory in the Console is reset to 1 every time you open the VM Properties dialog box for a VM where Dynamic Memory is enabled. This issue is only a display issue; the actual memory of the VM is not affected.
• Virtual Machine Manager 2016 shows Total Capacity and Available Capacity as 0 GB for existing file shares in the NAS arrays.
• When you create a Guest operating system profile, the profile is not created and you receive the following error message:
  A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Deployment Type Nano'.
