Update Rollup 3 for System Center 2016 Service Manager

This article describes the issues that are fixed in Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2016 Service Manager. This article also contains the installation instructions for this update.

• System Center 2016 Service Manager now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1.

• Extending a class and adding a new property that has a default value causes Active Directory (AD) and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) connectors to create incorrect relationships for the extended class objects. This update fixes this problem for subsequent connector syncs, but the already existing incorrect relationships require manual update.

• The file name extension of an attachment uploaded from the Self Service Portal changes when viewed from the Service Manager console.

• Submitting a Request Offering fails in the Self Service Portal if the description form element contains “<” or “>” characters.

• Self Service Portal fails to honor the attachment file size restriction specified in the Service Manager console settings.

• The Request Offering page in Self Service Portal fails to load if that Request Offering contains a list form element with ServiceRequestSupportGroupEnum enumeration list.

• System Center Configuration Manager 1706 is now supported for Configuration Manager Connectors in Service Manager
