SUMMARY OF ISSUES ADDRESSED

1. Resolved the following Autodesk Reference Repair Utility issues;
• "Some files could not be processed due to errors" message.
• "The utility has encountered some errors and it has stopped working" message.
• Localized versions of Vault server without a default 'Administrator' account was causing login to fail.
• Logging into a Vault server with IIS running on a port other than 80 was causing login to fail.
2. Certain assemblies containing multiple child relationships may return redundant relationship information. This update eliminates unnecessary data resulting in increased purge performance.
3. For systems with large numbers of Web Client users, log in may become unresponsive and Vault client log in may result in the message "Vault has detected tampering with the security subsystem. Unlicensed client access is currently prohibited." The vlog may contain multiple "PermissionTamperingDetected [320]" messages.
4. For Vault properties mapped to a custom office file property, the Update Properties toolbar button may be inactive when accessing Office files on subscriber ADMS instances.
