Known IssuesNetIQ Corporation strives 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. Superseded Release Notes Not Removed on UpgradeThe Security Manager for IIS module replaces the Log Manager for IIS module. However, a known issue exists where Security Manager cannot remove old release notes files when installing updated modules. Release notes are installed by default in the \Program Files\NetIQ Security Manager\OnePoint\Documentation\Release Notes folder on the central computer, but may have been moved or copied to a different location in your environment. After upgrading this module, you should manually delete any superseded release notes in the default folder or in other folders. Removal of Monitoring GuidesSince monitoring information for updated Security Manager modules is now available in the module release notes, monitoring guides have been discontinued. However, a known issue exists where Security Manager cannot remove old monitoring guides when installing updated modules. To reduce the risk of users referencing outdated monitoring guides, Security Manager now replaces the old monitoring guide in the default documentation folder with a blank monitoring guide. Monitoring guides are installed by default in the \Program Files\NetIQ Security Manager\OnePoint\Documentation\Monitoring Guides folder on the central computer, but may have been moved or copied to a different location in your environment. After installing an updated module, you should manually delete any outdated monitoring guides that were copied or moved to other folders.
