Known Issues:

  1. Few of NSM Web components UI's like UCM and AEC have some issues with Internet Explorer 11 native mode, and these components are supported when browser mode is changed to IE 11 compatibility mode.

  2. URM (Unicenter Remote Monitoring) has .NET Framework 1.1/SP1 as prerequisite but this version of .NET framework is not supported not on Windows Server 2008/2012/2012 R2. As a work around user can manually install .NET framework.
