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.

Build 5100

New Features

• Linux patching support - Provision to deploy updates for Linux distributions, with out-of-the-box support for Red Hat, CentOS and Debian. Support for other Linux distributions can be added by editing patch management scripts from the web console.
• Windows Change Management - Provision to track changes in Windows files, folders and registry settings & to compare against a set baseline.
• Patching support for Windows x-64 bit systems. Patches released from year 2008 are supported.

Bug Fixes

• When an asset being managed by an SMP Agent was deleted from the web console, the SMP Agent shutdown automatically. This has been fixed.

• While configuring MS Office media path for MS Office patches deployment, there was no provision to supply a hidden share ($ at the end of Windows path). This has been fixed and $ paths can now be specified.

Bug Fixes
