Release Notes
•
Action icons are added to many grids enabling one-click initiation of a task (such as Edit and
Delete) to individual rows within a dataset.
•
Multiple minor cosmetic changes are made throughout the user interface.
•
The IP address of the device is now a column on the Devices page.
•
The Create User and Add User wizards are merged into a single wizard interface allowing the
creation of new users or the addition of pre-existing users. Pre-existing users, from an Active
Directory domain, can be added by administrators providing the credentials for accessing an
Active Directory domain and searching for users.
•
Graphs displayed on the ZENworks Patch Management Server home page are moved to a
separate page accessed from a link on the home page.
•
A Critical but not Superseded vulnerabilities filter value is added to the Impact drop-down list
on the Vulnerabilities page.
•
Static user interface elements are localizable following the standard ASP.NET pattern. The
default language (U.S English) is compiled into the main assembly with other locales being
supported via satellite assemblies. The ZENworks Patch Management Server will use the user's
browser settings when attempting to locate the appropriate localized resource string. The
ZENworks Patch Management Server will follow a standard fallback hierarchy based off the
user's preferred language until a matching resource is found if no localized resource matches
any of the user's browser settings.
•
Dates, numbers, and times are formatted and displayed in the user's preferred region and
language as determined by the value returned by the browser. Internet Explorer responds based
on the language order displayed in the Language Preferences selection screen.
•
Administrators can modify the DAU's scheduled frequency. The default schedule runs a DAU
every 26 hours if no account deployments, subscription replications, or manual DAU initiations
have occurred.
•
Administrators can disable the initiation of a DAU after the completion of a subscription
replication event. The default setting runs the DAU after the completion of a subscription
replication.
•
ZENworks Patch Management Server group names can be provided that the agent should
immediately join upon registration with the ZENworks Patch Management Server during agent
installation.
