I've been on hiatus from the blog, focusing on a ton of internal needs, but I'm excited to get things started back up by announcing we released Desktop Authority 7.7 last week!
This release includes some awesome enhancements to our award winning Desktop Management solution in four key areas: client support, reporting, patch management and USB/Port Security.
Client Support - While we made Desktop Authority ready for Windows Vista back in version 7.6, we've added support for 64-bit hardware, allowing you to manage all of the newest Windows desktops out there.
Reporting - We've added a fantastic reporting wizard to make building your own custom reports even easier.
Patch Management - There are a number of new enhancements:
- Support for patching in multiple languages
- Patch Rollbacks - as simple as selecting the patch and "Rollback" from a dropdown menu
- User Deferment - patching can be configured to allow user to defer the patch a number of times before it is forced
- Reboot Options - Choose to bypass reboots and/or allow users to cancel reboots
- The Update and Patch Download Service - if you have ScriptLogic servers with no access to the Internet (as is the case for a number of government agencies) or with limited bandwidth, you can download the updates at a site with access, and zip them for easy transport and extraction at the non-connected site
USB/Port Security - We've added more management granularity by allowing you to create USB device white/blacklists based on either serial numbers or PID/VID combination.
If you are a Desktop Authority customer within maintenance, I highly recommend you update to the latest version.
If you've never tried Desktop Authority, you can download a 30-day evaluation.
