ManageEngine DDI Central | Read me

4002- May 06, 2024

New Features & Enhancements:

  1. Users can directly configure static subnets, manually assign IP addresses, import and manage static leases from spreadsheets, ensuring consistent network addresses for essential services and devices.
  2. Migrate all the zones hosted with third-party managed DNS providers to DDI Central and manage them directly from DDI Central UI without switching between different points of management.
  3. Create scheduled configurations and reports for DNS resource records and DHCP scopes. Download past report versions available for comparison and analysis to bolster change management and support compliance.
  4. Delete DHCP leases via the DDI Central console, preventing lease reassignment and ensuring new leases for users. This improves control over address distribution and increases management flexibility as needed.
  5. PXE boot configuration can now be configured quickly through user-friendly templates and imported into the relevant client class.
  6. DDI Central now mandates that users set up an A or AAAA record for nameservers matching their domain names before usage. For example, configuring 'clouddns.com' with 'ns1.clouddns.com' requires creating an authoritative record for 'ns1.clouddns.com' first.
  7. Refresh the DNS cache of a selected server or a specific zone on the server to ensure your DNS information is up-to-date.
  8. Automate email notifications to admins identifying the hosts attempting to access domains that have been blocked for monitoring and reacting to potential security breaches or policy violations.
  9. Node Agent installed on all DNS and DHCP servers now supports admin-controlled password resets for enhanced security, replacing the previous automatic reset system. This update allows admins to intervene directly in case of suspected breaches.
  10. Admins can now choose and update the network port used by the Node Agent, providing flexibility and facilitating compliance with internal networking policies and external regulations.
