Workaround: Remove the EEFF extension and check in the FRP extension. See the related article for details.

Non-critical known issues

Non-critical Server Issues (Windows)
Reference Number	Related Article	Found In	Fixed In	Issue Description
FRP-7611	-	5.1.0	5.4.1	Issue: The serial number at the end of the Device Instance Path ID is ignored when you exempt devices. For example, if the entire string 'Device Instance Path ID' is added to the exemption list, the serial number part is filtered out. Only the rest of the string is used in the exemption. Resolution: The above limitation has been removed in FRP 5.4.1. The serial number at the end of a Device Instance Path ID is no longer ignored. But, exemptions with only the serial number (for example; No Bus, Vendor ID, or Product ID) might not work. In other words, it’s advisable to add the entire Device Instance Path ID to the exemption list.

Changes in the default cryptographic provider supplied with ePO 5.10.x prevent the import of FRP keys on ePO 5.10.x. Resolution: Previously resolved with FRP 5.0.9 HF1261968 (RTS) which has been superseded by FRP 10.0.
