Release Notes

Build 5200

New Features

Support for scanning and patching Windows Server 2008 (32 & 64-bit). Initial Support for 15 Patches.
Support for Undeployment of patches (patches that can be Microsoft supports )
Systems with same host name but in different networks can now be scanned in https Agent mode. Previously, when you install agent in a system, and if the host name in that system matches an already added system, then the already added system will be updated. Now it will appear as a different system. One side effect is, when you move from Remote mode to Agent mode, you need to delete the system in Remote mode. Otherwise you will see 2 systems with the same name.
Search for Assets in new Asset Group creation page.

Bug Fixes

Patch deployment failed when Patch Store location was changed. On restarting the SMP Server, the functionality was working. This issue has been fixed.
Agent upgrade was failing if the Agent patch was already in patch store location. This has been fixed.
Vulnerability database update through ISA proxy server (Integrated Authentication mode) was failing. This has been fixed.
Reports attached with the mail sent at the end of scan was corrupt. This has been fixed.
Fixed a corrupt PDF issue when PCI Report is exported.
In Agent mode, Patch deployment message pop-up was not getting displayed. This has been fixed. ( Messenger Service must anyway be running for the pop-up to display in both agent and agentless modes )
Unable to search the Installed Patches table view. This has been addressed.
