Release Notes 2012-08-06

The When tab has been changed and enhanced as follows:


1.) instead of selecting persistent and then "once a day" or "at every client start", the options are now consolidated into one field.
2.) except for the "Repeat?-Option" "persistent, you can now choose whether you wish to "Keep local exec. info" - if checked, an action will NOT be re-executed again when resaving the corresponding action.
NOTE that when testing ONE TIME actions, many customers rely on the action to re-execute when resaving an action; if you wish to use the "resave=re-execute" feature you must UNCHECK the "keep local exec. info" box!

The HW/SW inventory (Windows only) agent has been enhanced as follows:

1.) if MC_AddonColGetProductInfo is set, the HW/SW inventory agent will now also obtain all uninstall information from the Windows registry - this is then available from the following view:

The uninstall list contains a complete listing of all uninstall entries for the "all" and "current" user registry parts (for both 32 and 64 bit environments where applicable); for customers where the products inventory did not work due to WMI issues, the new uninstall list also contains product code details for possible uninstall of software: In the following example, the product code is {23170F69-40C1-2702-0920-000001000000}


2.) it now also determines the computer identifying number, serial number and asset tag; if run, the information will display on the OS / HW tab of each user's profile:


NOTE that in the Run Agent action running the HW / SW inventory you must click on "check for update" after updating the design of ýour config database so as to deploy the code changes to your MC clients.
Also note that the HW / SW inventory agent will determine manufacturer, model and version even if neither MC_AddonColGetHWDetails, nor MC_AddonColGetLogicalDriveInfo, nor MC_AddonColGetProductInfo are set;
the agent will determine these details every time it runs, even if it has nothing to do.
