FIXED: DNS server tools are now correctly installed as part of the RSAT package.

FIXED: Shielding data files and template disks can now be created by their respective wizards in the RSAT package.

What’s New in Project Honolulu Technical Preview 1803 Release Summary

In this iteration, we resolved 430 bugs, as well as the following feature improvements –

Access Control

Major new functionality in this release — we have added Azure Active Directory (AAD) based access control. Using AAD identities, you can configure conditional access policies that require Multi-Factor authentication, device compliance, and more. You can find instructions to configure this in the Azure Active Directory section of the Gateway access documentation.

Known issue with AAD authentication: If you are using a self-signed certificate, AAD authentication will fail in Microsoft Edge. To work around this issue, you must use a valid certificate or choose to trust the self-signed certificate on your machine where you are running the Edge browser.

Logging

We’ve updated the logging schema to include more details for auditing and troubleshooting. Previously, the only details logged were the module, user on the target node, and the PowerShell script or CIM call executed. Now events are logged with these parameters:

• Module: which tool triggered the action being logged
  
• CIM call, PowerShell script name, or file uploaded
  
• Gateway from which the action occurred
  
• UserOnGateway: the username used to access the Honolulu gateway
  
• UserOnTarget: the username used to access the target node (if different from the gateway user)
  
• LAPS: Boolean showing whether LAPS was used to connect to the target node

These events are logged on the target node in event channel Microsoft-ServerManagementExperience with event ID 4000.
