Known Issues :

1. Few of NSM Web components UI's like UCM, AEC have some issues with Internet Explorer 10 native mode, and these components are supported when browser mode is changed to "IE 10 compatibility mode".
   
   
2. URM (Unicenter Remote Monitoring) has .NET Framework 1.1/SP1 as prerequisite and as per Microsoft it's not supported on Windows Server 2008/2012. As work around user can manually install it and URM has limited support on successful installation and working of .NET Framework 1.1/SP1 on these OS.
