New features in VSA (v4.0.2.1) - 5 March 2004

Patch Management

Improved detection and distribution of older patches, particularly for Windows NT4. Added ability to manually apply patches for machines set for Automatic Update. Added support for MDAC.

New GUI Theme

Added a new theme to the web GUI customization (Enterprise Edition only). Select Login Policy, under the System Tab, and click the bottom Customize link. Then select 'Banner' from the theme drop down control. There is now a Home link in the top tab area that brings you back to the start page seen immediately after login.

Agent Dialup Connection Fix

Fixed a problem introduced in version 4.0.1.0 in which the Agent never detected the presence of a dialup connection, and therefore never connected back to the VSA server.

Custom Agent Icon

In addition to displaying your own icon for the Agent in the system tray with the Enterprise Edition, the Agent now also displays your custom icon in the dialog boxes that the Agent presents to the user.

User Login

A separate user login value is now saved for each user. Login Name is set in the User Access function under the Agent tab and is securely bound to the password. Contact Name is no longer used for this function and is free to be used for its original function of holding the computer user's name. Existing users will not be able to log in with the Contact Name. They must log in with the machine ID and the reset their login name (or the administrator may reset their password and set a new login name for them).

Database Maintenance Time

The Configure function under the System Tab now lets you set the time of day maintenance will be scheduled instead of always running at 02:00.

LAN Watch/Install Agents

Fixed a bug that prevented more than one agent from being installed at a time.
