Insights on how Nomad enhances user experience - with the rapid shift to a Work From Anywhere (WFA) workforce and an increased focus on the Digital End-User eXperience, Nomad on Tachyon Platform now provides insights into how it helps to ensure a great user eXperience. With the introduction of Nomad's Bandwidth Protection Reporting, you can now see how Nomad is preventing end-user disruption due to software and update deployments. Bandwidth Protection Reporting will allow you to see the positive impact Nomad is having across the organization, to individual sites, subnets, all the way down to a single client.
Support for Cloud-based content in Task Sequences - cloud-based services to support Work From Anywhere (WFA) users are becoming more critical to the way enterprises work, there is an increased reliance on Cloud Distribution Points for distributing content.
Feature improvements - as Configuration Manager evolves and new features are released, Nomad on Tachyon Platform is being continuously maintained to ensure it works seamlessly with new releases.
Content Distribution service no longer uses SQL Linked Server to connect to Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager.

No longer requires SQL Server Analysis Server (SSAS)
On the Software page, the Product, Executable, Version and Architecture columns have been removed from the table that is displayed after clicking on a particular row. This is because the subsequent table is filtered on the selected Product, Executable, Version and Architecture values and will be the same for every row in the table. The values are displayed anyway in the heading for the page, and the columnscan be added back from the Column picker if needed
User Sentiment descriptions now highlight that User Sentiment is processed once a day, rather than real-time.

Application Migration 3.1.105:
Features in the Application Migration 3.1.105 maintenance release:
Works with Tachyon Platform 5.2
No new features in this maintenance release.
Features in the main Application Migration 3.1 release:
Works with Tachyon 5.1
Improvements to upgrade rules to support scenarios where the currently installed software has a later version than the one listed in the upgrade rule - In versions prior to Application Migration 3.1, it was possible that upgrade rules had issues when the application they were trying to upgrade on the client devices were later versions than the ones they were trying to upgrade to. To remedy these unpredictable and unwanted results, now if an upgrade rule tries to downgrade an application then it will be ignored.
Application and Package installation success has been improved - this handles scenarios where the administrator has forgotten to check the Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action without being deployed checkbox, which is a prerequisite for migrating an application. In practice, it was a common error for administrators to overlook this, which - in earlier versions - led to the Task Sequence failing. In Application Migration 3.1, if the administrator forgets to set the checkbox, a warning is now displayed that lets the administrator continue and Application Migration sets the option automatically.
Multiple exclusion of applications is now supported from the Installations page.

Nomad 1.0 (New app in 5.2):
Works with Tachyon Platform 5.2
Modernized backend infrastructure - Nomad requires a back-end server, which was previously the legacy ActiveEfficiency platform, this has been replaced by the Tachyon Platform to provide Single-Site download, Pre-caching and a new Dashboard. For customers moving to Modern Management, Nomad provides visibility and control of Delivery Optimization, which is used by Intune, MS store and MS update.
Leverage the Tachyon Platform and 1E Client - with the Tachyon Platform you can enable further features including Experience, User Sentiment, Guaranteed State and Patch Success, as well as opening up real-time management to any task by acquiring the appropriate license.
Content Distribution - Content Distribution is a new component of the Tachyon Platform that provides control and visibility on content deployments and delivery in an organization
Replaces ActiveEfficiency features, maintaining support during upgrade for legacy Nomad clients (versions earlier than Nomad 7.1 in 1E Client 5.2)
Nomad 7.1 clients now connect to Tachyon Response Stack components (Switch and Background Channel) which act as a proxy for Content Distribution, and legacy clients continue to connect directly to Content Distribution.
Nomad app - the user interface for Content Distribution, provides real-time visibility of what content is downloading or available in each location, subnet and client, see how much WAN traffic is being saved overall and each day
Delivery Optimization (DO) Visibility - visibility of Delivery Optimization downloads and content availability in each location, subnet and device
Delivery Optimization (DO) and Windows Update Agent (WUA) monitoring - track Windows download or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager deployments on clients being downloaded via Delivery Optimization in real time, their peer to peer downloads efficiency, sources of the downloaded content and see this reported in the Nomad app dashboards
Overview page - gives a high-level view of the current status of content throughout the entire network
Content page - provides a Content-centric view of content distributed throughout your network
Task Sequences page - provides that visibility by grouping the reference content for each Task Sequence into a single view, so you can see which content is cached and which is not
Devices page - lists all Devices that have sent Nomad device registration events and have sent download events within a selected time period, links through to Device View
Nomad Sites page - shows how the network is being used for content distribution in different locations
Client Health page - shows information from two Integrated Product Packs provided with the Tachyon Platform.

Enhancements:
RBAC naming has been improved by changing the permissions name from Instrumentation to Infrastructure.
Support for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager CB 2002.
Tachyon platform instrumentation data is now exposed as Windows Performance Counters.
Platform installation and deployment has been simplified by eliminating the Tachyon CoreInternal component.
Inventory application:
The Inventory application has some additional pages that provide information on your system, as gathered by inventory connectors:
The Software Inventory section provides Dashboard, Aggregate and Product Usage pages to help you understand the software that is installed in your enterprise
The Hardware section lets you investigate the virtual machines and physical devices present in your enterprise by using its Hardware Inventory, Virtual Summary and Device pages
Export option now available on the Inventory→Hardware→Hardware Inventory page.
Sync actions for Connectors allow you select which data categories you want to sync, and if you want to run AI Powered Auto-curation as part of Basic Inventory Consolidation (BIC) process that runs after each sync.
1E Catalog:
Improved hotfix capability.
Catalog documentation merged with Tachyon.
Settings application:
Tachyon connector optimization - the duration of inventory instructions has been reduced from 7 days to 15 minutes to allow them to be run more frequently
Other Connector optimizations:
Ability to request selected data when scheduling a sync. For example, Device, Software, User, Patch etc. This has been added to the Tachyon, Configuration Manager and ServiceNow connectors
The Device and Patch Consolidation reports have been split from the Basic Inventory Consolidation action. Patch Success users can now just execute the Device and Patch consolidation reports rather than running a complete Basic Inventory Consolidation.
AI actions have been decoupled from the Inventory synchronization cycles.
A new Provider log page has been added that provides the status of Provider related operations
AI Powered Auto-curation can be turned on or off from the Components page.

Reclaim
Reclaim product usage screen loading time is optimized for quick page load.
Application Migration 3.1:
Improvements to upgrade rules to support scenarios where the currently installed software has a later version than the one listed in the upgrade rule - In versions prior to Application Migration 3.1, it was possible that upgrade rules had issues when the application they were trying to upgrade on the client devices were later versions than the ones they were trying to upgrade to. To remedy these unpredictable and unwanted results, now if an upgrade rule tries to downgrade an application then it will be ignored.
Application and Package installation success has been improved - this handles scenarios where the administrator has forgotten to check the Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action without being deployed checkbox, which is a prerequisite for migrating an application. In practice, it was a common error for administrators to overlook this, which - in earlier versions - led to the Task Sequence failing. In Application Migration 3.1, if the administrator forgets to set the checkbox, a warning is now displayed that lets the administrator continue and Application Migration sets the option automatically.
Multiple exclusion of applications is now supported from the Installations page.
Experience 1.2:
The Tachyon Experience score has been greatly enhanced to include User Sentiment - this means that, not only can you monitor the stability, responsiveness, and performance of the devices on your network to deduce your end-users satisfaction with their IT services, you can send out surveys and incorporate your end-users actual feedback directly into the picture.
The Tachyon Experience score displayed on the Overview page includes user sentiment values, please refer to The Scores for more information.
The Categories page includes a Sentiment tile showing the current User Sentiment score.
The Sentiment page lets you view the User Sentiment score on its own and drill down to view users and monitor their feedback and pain points.
End-User Surveys - two types of survey are supported: User Sentiment and General Purpose. User Sentiment Surveys contribute towards the Tachyon Experience score, General Purpose Surveys can be used to ask one-off questions of your end-users and get their feedback on any issue. The Surveys page is where you can create, enable and deploy surveys.
A Users page is provided that lets you get information on the end-users on the devices in your network.
Customize the Tachyon Experience pages to view the interactive charts you want to focus on - including the display of the results from your User Sentiment surveys on the Sentiment page.
Explorer 5.1:
No changes
Guaranteed State 1.4:
The workflow on the rule creation page has been improved, so that all the information you need to enter is presented on a single page, making it easier to create rules.
Support for digital signing, versioning and licensing of Guaranteed State policy fragments. This requires that upgrading to Tachyon 5.1 has a new license.
Patch Success 1.2.104:
No changes to this application for this maintenance release.
