Hi Chris_Cartwright​ - I posted this in the earlier article that got "lost".

Do you have an update or any more detail on this comment?

Note: 6/9/2025 The Event Forwarding methods mentioned here is not yet compatible with Server 2025.  This post will be updated when it is no longer the case.

I can't find any mention of this elsewhere.

 

Even if this isn't fixed yet I'd like to know more - does this affect WEF clients running Server 2025 or only WEC servers running Server 2025? What's the actual issue?

 

Thanks in advance

    It probably would have effected clients had someone configure those to be a subscription target.  This is tentatively fixed in an upcoming patch.  Hope to be able to confirm "soon"
