There’s now a new Monthly Enterprise Channel available. I’ve already gone ahead and updated my existing Monthly (Current) Baselines to use the new Monthly Enterprise Channel. I’ve confirmed the CDN has changed on the clients and the new updates are available in my Software Update Group, but the clients aren’t downgrading to the new Channel. Does anyone know the expected behavior for this use case?
The configuration to the registers has been done, Tuttavia, I miss the possibility to update the client somehow. In addition, if I use a baseline to change the channel from “insider” A “monthly”, I can’t even make a change with a manual update. Any ideas, please?
