  • If the MFA key reset via the backup UserLock server is performed while the primary UserLock server is down, an MFA request is made instead of an MFA enrollment when the primary server is operational again.

  • In the access policy wizard, the information about target containers does not allow them to be distinguished in tiered AD environments.

  • If you install version 13.0 of the desktop agent MSI and version 12.2 or earlier of the desktop agent MSI is already installed, you will see two desktop agent MSI installations.

  • The legacy agent station technology is used when connecting with a local account on a Standalone UserLock server.
