After the 25.06 update was released, I did a quick test of a Windows 10 VM with Smart View and EPM Automate. The concern was that TLS 1.3 is supported only on Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 and that our customers on older versions of Windows may have issues.

The test consisted of a Hyper-V Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation VM with MS Office 365 installed. Using a test pod with the Vision Planning sample app installed, I tried to get in and start testing around 5:30 PM CDT (22:30 UTC) but the update wasn’t pushed yet. I tried a couple of times to run the “epmautomate rundailymaintenance” command to force the update, but no luck. After 6:00 PM CDT, I tried the rundailymaintenance again and it worked.

My Smart View ad-hoc template retrieved data just fine. Similarly, EPM Automate logged in after the update and told me it needed an upgrade. I ran the upgrade command and logged out. Even after the upgrade, EPM Automate logged in just fine.

Looks like a big nothing burger, which is the best result for us all. This was a test of end user tools, so I would still recommend all of you out there in EPM land to thoroughly test after this update just to make sure everything is good.
