Support variable: {SERVICEACCOUNT} corresponds to executing service account.
Support variable: {REQUESTINGUSER} corresponds to calling user.

Cache: Can be activated via SCCM Web Service. Group permissions are stored so that they only have to be queried once when a user logs in multiple times. Existing cache entries can be managed via the "Web Service Cache" client plug-in in the "Administration" function group.

Client Creator: Queuing functionality: Creation of clients is now executed asynchronously. Additional interfaces via SQL and the included queue service can be used to control creation and processing.

A client loader is now available for client installation. This is used to simplify the distribution of updates. A new client version only has to be installed on the server. When starting the SCCM Manager on a client, it is then automatically ensured that the current version is available or downloaded from the server and installed after %LOCALAPPDATA%.

Kafka-Support: New services and features are available to generate, receive and manage Kafka messages.

SQL: The database installation can now be installed on instances where there is no SCCM database without using Linked Server.
