The Bad News is that each application can have its own number of new features to display, so knowing how many values isn’t known ahead of time. It starts at 1 and increases by 1 for every new feature that is to be listed in a What’s New dialog box. The Good News is that the values of OUIWhatsNewShownItemIds are predictable.
Good News, Bad News, Better News, Best News, and Bestest News The previous key OUIWhatsNewLastShownLink is still needed to suppress the What’s New dialogs prior to 15.32. As of version 15.32 there is a new key that takes an array of ints that can be added to the mobileconfig profile - OUIWhatsNewShownItemIds. Our good friends at Microsoft recognized the madness and worked on a way to make the suppression easier and more predictable for us admins. Due to the nature of how the values were dynamically created at build time it wasn’t known what those values were until the software was downloaded, installed, launched, then examine the preference file for the new value of OUIWhatsNewLastShownLink. While it worked, it _was_ work to get the specific preference key value to block the latest banner from appearing.
