Windows Vista
Vista support for DNA Console and DNA clients is included
in version 2.7.
Reporting / Views
Make Dynamic Groups available to or hidden from
specific Operators.
Make Custom Queries available to or hidden from
specific Operators.
Hardware History items can be enabled / disabled
as needed for reporting.
Facility to enable / disable Logon / Logoff "popup"
messages as required.
Application Restrictions by department can now be
automatically assigned to any new members of a department.
New ‘Query Scheduler’ enables Queries to be run
on a specific date or regularity based on a defined
interval, for example Daily, Weekly etc. The completed
report is automatically saved in a user defined location.
Console / Performance
New DNA Cache Controller. Data views are now generated
by the DNA server (previously by the Console) and the
resulting data can be cached on the server. The result
of this is that views can be generated in background
while viewing other console areas and data response
times are typically improved.
Software Distribution
Software Distribution now provides a range of Retry
options allowing control of frequency, delay between
attempts and support for PCs powered off at time of
distribution. On power on they will be notified of
a pending distribution and deployed to automatically.
Software Distribution : Broadcast. When deploying
to computers on a local subnet from the server or
distribution warehouse, UDP can now be utilised for
significant performance benefits. For example:
To Distribute a 50Mb package to 90 computers over
a regular 100mb network: Traditional deploy:
- 8 minutes 48 seconds
- UDP deploy: 1 minute 39 seconds
Both distribution methods are supported in DNA 2.7
