Build 5300
New Features
- Pre-notifications for patch deployment - provision to send e-mail
notifications before the patch deployment schedule
- Task History now made available for Asset / Asset Group (like Patch
Deployment History, SP Deployment History)
- Ability to show "Scan Failed" Assets in the Assets view
- Provision to deploy a Patch Group on a single asset
- The associated Asset Group's name for each Asset made visible
in the view (Column provided in Column-chooser )
- Product name is made 'searchable' in the Patches knowledgebase
- Simplified Missing Patches Report with just Bulletin ID, KB, Severity for
each Asset in pdf/csv format - now made available
- Professional Edition of Security Manager Plus will have a "Switch to"
Standard Edition option from the web interface (Switch Edition button) - This
will facilitate users to switch to Standard Edition and perform just patch
scanning & deployment (without port scanning, vulnerability & inventory
scanning).
- Credentials can be specified in standard user name and password format
(without using the 'SystemName\UserName' format )
- Provision to sort assets by DNS Name/IP Address/Scan time in All Assets view
- Separate HTTPS Proxy can now be specified in wrapper.conf configuration
file
- When deploying patches from the Asset Group view, severity & the patch
release date will now be shown
Bug Fixes
- Earlier the deployed patches were cached by Windows OS which resulted in high
disk usage. In this release, Windows caching is disabled.
- Earlier if the Alert Message option was unchecked in the Patch deployment
configuration screen, the target system did not reboot after patch deployment.
This is now fixed.
- When scanning a Windows 2000 system, there were frequent scan failures
with error message - 'Failed to connect to Remote Registry'. This has been
resolved.
- In MS Office patch deployment, "Office media path" configuration form, the
connection test to the path worked only after the configuration was saved.
This has been fixed.
- In the Security Manager Plus installation, the backup, restore scripts & mysqldump.exe
file packaged were corrupt and failing to function. Now they have been fixed
and repackaged.
- When a Scheduled Scan notification e-mail is sent, the attached report
name did not have the Asset or Asset Group's name that was scanned. This has
been fixed.
- PCI Report (in section 12.2) for an Asset Group, listed all the assets
instead of just the ones from the group. This has been fixed.
- In Asset Group's "Edit Group" screen, the host names that were renamed
were failing to be displayed. This problem is addressed now.
- By default, SSH protocol will be used for logging in to Linux target
systems. Optionally, Telnet will be used.
- There was an issue in creating a new Asset Group as it was traversing to
the edit mode of an 'existing' group view. This has been resolved.
Note: In this release, we are using the script boxover.js
obtained from http://boxover.swazz.org/
for tool-tip function in the web interface.
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.
- In Hardware inventory, there was an error displaying the keyboards, when 2 keyboards were detected on an asset. This has been resolved to identify and display only one primary keyboard device.
- 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.
