Measurement Screen moved to Global Settings
The Measurement screen is moved to the Global Settings section with a new design, improving the user experience during the initial setup in the web application.
Display Operating System Installation Date
Added to the device detail is the operating system installation date information, providing greater visibility into the age of the installation and facilitating diagnostics, upgrade planning, and administrative decision-making.
Event Log Screen Changes
An enhancement is made to the Event Log screen, unifying remote control audit information that was previously on a separate screen. This centralizes activities within the console, making navigation easier and improving the user experience by having a single point of inquiry.
Downloading Component Logs from the Console
The Event Log screen incorporates the possibility of requesting the logs of the Conserver, ADM agent and ARC agent, allowing access to these logs in an agile way without resorting to external tools or manual processes. This functionality speeds up the diagnosis of incidents and follow-ups, optimizing information request times.
⚐ Note: Currently there is a restriction of not being able to request logs from Conservers that do not have network reach from the repserver.
Software Distribution — Loading and Running Packages with .ps1 Extension
An adjustment is made to the packages screen to allow the upload of files with .ps1 extension (PowerShell scripts). These files can be distributed and executed directly from the Software Distribution module, expanding the supported formats and providing greater flexibility for the execution of automated scripts on the target computers.
Updates Module
- An improvement is incorporated in the module Updates for licensing Full which allows you to visualize, in the detail of the patch, the Download link of the installer associated with the update, making it easier to consult and use in manual management processes.
- An improvement is incorporated in the module Updates for licensing Full and Lite which allows you to export the list of devices from the update detail, facilitating the consultation and management of the devices related to the patch.
- The need for an alternative to continue patching was identified when direct download from the manufacturer may present drawbacks. In these cases, ADM reports this condition by a visible warning in the update and enables the action Create/edit software distribution for the user to manually manage its distribution.
The ability to create or edit a distribution project from the selected patch is incorporated. The project is automatically generated with the prefix ASD- and only associates devices in state Not installed that have a distribution license. Unlike installing updates from the module Updates, this functionality does not run an automatic distribution of the patch, but enables its manual management from the distribution module.
New Conserver installer
The Conserver migrates from ASP.NET 6 to ASP.NET 8, incorporating the latest security updates, vulnerability fixes and platform support improvements, reducing risks associated with the use of previous versions.
Benefits Increased performance and stability:
The new version takes advantage of the optimizations included in .NET 8, providing better performance in processing requests, more efficient resource management, and greater operational stability.
Standardization on 64-bit architectures: The solution aligns with modern architectures, enabling better utilization of memory and system resources.
Considerations:
Change to the default installation path: Because the new version will be geared exclusively toward 64-bit architectures, the default installation path changes from:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Aranda\Conserver a:
- C:\Program Files\Aranda\Conserver
This change must be taken into account in operating procedures, scripts, monitoring, and configurations that reference the previous path.
Update of exclusions in antivirus and security tools:
It will be necessary to review and update the exclusions configured in the antivirus or other security solutions to accommodate the new default installation path or the custom path that is defined during deployment.
The following executables should be included within the exceptions:
- Aranda.Conserver.Windows.Service.exe
- Aranda.Agent.RemoteCommand.exe
Manual Server Update from Versions 9.24.2 or Lower to 9.25.0 or Higher - Ambiente Cloud
Manual Server Update from Versions 9.24.2 or Lower to 9.25.0 or Higher - Ambiente Onpremises
⚐ Note: From Conserver version 9.25.0, after 24 hours after the ADM console update, the Conserver will automatically attempt to update to the latest version released for the ADM console version.
Self-Diagnostic Utility Enhancements
New validations for exception management are incorporated in Microsoft Defender, improving security controls and configuration verification. Additionally, the ability to perform specific validations for the Remote Control, Patch Lite and Patch Full modules is added, allowing a more accurate evaluation of the particular requirements and configurations of each component.
