  • Issue: Converting a JBOD PD from JBOD to UG will cause applications to display different action menu names. MRSA displays it as Make unconfigured good.

  • Issue: During installation or uninstallation, the publisher can show as unknown on the User Account Control message box.
  • Issue: MRSA does not allow the physical drive to be selected from non-spanned virtual drives or  spanned virtual drives.
