An update is available to administrators who opted in through a PowerShell script to the first wave (early update ring) deployment for System Center Configuration Manager current branch, version 1702. You can access the update in the Updates and Servicing node of the Configuration Manager console.

This update addresses important late-breaking issues that were resolved after version 1702 became available globally.

This update does not apply to sites that downloaded version 1702 on or after April 5, 2017. Therefore, it will not be listed in the Administrator Console for those sites.

  System.InvalidCastException
  Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'CERTENROLLLib.CX509PrivateKey'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{IID}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

The following issues are resolved for installations or downloads of version 1702 performed between March 25 and April 4, 2017.

• Administrators cannot edit the Task Sequence application property Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application Task Sequence action without being deployed when the deployment type may require user interaction.

• The User Notifications tab of a Task Sequence property may not appear if third-party administrator console extensions are installed.
• Editing a compliance rule for a Mobile Device Configuration Policy results in modifications to additional policy elements. For example, adjusting the “Number of passwords remembered” setting also results in an unintentional change to the “Number of complex character sets required in password” setting.
• The SMS Agent Host service (ccmexec) may stop on computers following in-place upgrade of the operating system. This issue can occur if the folder %windir%\system32\tasks\Microsoft is missing after the upgrade.
• Enrolled Android devices, other than Samsung Knox devices, are not displayed in the Administrator Console.
• Password Compliance rules added to support Android for Work are available on other platforms but only exposed when Android for Work is selected in the rule properties.

Restart information

You do not have to restart the computer after you apply this update.

Update replacement information

This update does not replace any previously released update.

Additional installation information

After you install this update on a primary site, pre-existing secondary sites must be manually updated. To update a secondary site in the Configuration Manager console, click Administration, click Site Configuration, click Sites, click Recover Secondary Site, and then select the secondary site. The primary site then reinstalls that secondary site by using the updated files. Configurations and settings for the secondary site are not affected by this reinstallation. The new, upgraded, and reinstalled secondary sites under that primary site automatically receive this update.

Run the following SQL Server command on the site database to check whether the update version of a secondary site matches that of its parent primary site:

select dbo.fnGetSecondarySiteCMUpdateStatus ('SiteCode_of_secondary_site')

If the value 1 is returned, the site is up to date, with all the hotfixes applied on its parent primary site.

If the value 0 is returned, the site has not installed all the fixes that are applied to the primary site, and you should use the Recover Secondary Site option to update the secondary site.
