UR2 for SC2012 realeased

Two weeks ago Update Rollup 2 was released for System Center 2012, including Operations Manager. Issues that has been fixed:

Windows Monitoring

Issue 1
The Windows PowerShell module runspace configuration cache grows indefinitely. This causes memory usage to increase.

Issue 2
The Set-SCOMLicense cmdlet fails if the management group evaluation expiration time-out has expired.

UNIX and Linux Monitoring (Management Pack Update)

Issue 1
The System Center Operations Manager agent may crash on Oracle Solaris root zones that are configured to use a range of dedicated CPUs.

Issue 2
The UNIX/Linux agent process provider may not enumerate running processes if a process has arguments that include non-ASCII characters. This prevents process/daemon monitoring.

Issue 3
The .rpm specification file for the agent for Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not specify the distribution.
