The following items describe the new features and enhancements in DRA 10.0.1:
DRA now uses modern authentication to support Exchange Online activities.
You can install the Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module and enable WinRM for Basic authentication on the client-side to perform Exchange Online tasks.
DRA has new prerequisite checks to verify if the Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module is installed and WinRM Basic authentication is enabled on the client-side.
The Health Check Utility is enhanced with new checks for the Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module and WinRM Basic authentication.
DRA now enables you to specify a location, at installation, for DRA to store the log files.
Web Console enhancements enable you to do the following:
Add a customized notification for assistant administrators at login.
Export Search and Advanced Search results to a CSV file.
Export Members and Member Of property page results to a CSV file.
Create custom page handlers when configuring Web Client customizations.
Select script elements and strings from an Intellisense feature to complete custom handler scripting when customizing forms and properties in the Web Console.
The Temporary Group Assignments feature is now optional upon installation. You can include or exclude the feature as a sub-component of the Administration Server. Adding the component installs the NetIQ DRA Replication Service, which is required for temporary group assignments.
DRA PowerShell commands now include four new cmdlets for delegation:
Add-DRAAssistantAdminGroupMembers: Adds members to an Assistant Admin group.
Remove-DRAAssistantAdminGroupMembers: Removes members from an Assistant Admin group.
Add-DRAAssignments: Adds delegation assignments to Assistant Administrators.
Remove-DRAAssignments: Removes a delegation assignment from assistant administrators.

We strive to ensure our products provide quality solutions for your enterprise software needs. The following issues are currently being researched. If you need further assistance with any issue, please contact Technical Support.
The DRA administrator is unable to manage public folders from the Delegation and Configuration Console when NTLM authentication is denied.
No workaround.
If a page or form handler modifies the value of a field on a page that a user has not yet selected, and the user then selects that page, the updated value will not be submitted to the server.
Workaround: The user should not select the other page or avoid having page load handlers modify field values on different pages.
Custom handlers configured for property fields can be set to execute on a time delay. However, this setting should not apply when the field's value is updated by another custom handler using the draApi.fieldValues interface.
No workaround. This issue will be addressed in a future release.
Adding the same attribute to multiple pages in a custom form may cause issues with reading or updating the attributes value in a custom handler.
No workaround. As a best practice we advise you to not have multiple fields for the same attribute in a custom form.
After upgrade from DRA 9.2.1.x to DRA 10, you get a 404 error every time you try to access direct links to custom pages.
Workaround: Run Repair to add the URL Rewrite rule in IIS. To do this:
Go to ../wwwroot/DRAClient folder.
Make a back up of the web.config file and delete it from the ../wwwroot/DRAClient folder.
Navigate to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator > Change. The NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator Setup opens.
Select Repair and proceed with the setup.
When the repair completes, check if a new web.config file is created. If this file is not created, contact Technical Support.
If you configured the DRAClient in IIS before upgrade, open the IIS Manger and configure DRAClient in IIS again.
Post DRA installation, the NetIQ DRA Rest Service is unable to create the DRARESTServer container and its Service Connection Point (SCP) in the Active Directory.
Workaround: To fix this issue:
Using ADSI Edit, create a DRARestSever container under the System container.
Restart the NetIQ DRA Rest Service.
