NetSupport DNA now provides the ability to view which
PCs have been associated with a hardware device when
the device has been assigned to a group.
ENHANCED User Interface
The NetSupport DNA User Interface has been totally refreshed
for version 3. Included among the changes is the introduction

usage), as well as a completely new navigation bar and
dynamic component "action panels".
NEW Communication Gateway
The introduction of NetSupport’s Gateway technology
provides a stable and secure method for locating and
connecting to Clients on Remote Networks securely via
the Internet. Multiple remote locations can communicate
data back to a central location with the use of the
included Client and Server gateway components.
NEW Energy Monitor
Aimed at helping organisations reduce their carbon footprint,
meet internal energy saving targets and reduce operational
costs, the new Energy Monitor component tracks all powered-on
systems across the enterprise, highlighting their energy
consumption and associated costs. Working day hours
can be defined making it easy to identify out of hours
wastage.
NEW Active Directory Integration
Full Active Directory Integration is provided in v3.
The NetSupport DNA tree view can now mirror your Active
Directory structure. Support has been provided to enable
membership of AD groups to control logon/access rights
to the DNA Console.
NEW Console Roles
Access rights for Console Operators are now controlled
by defined profiles or ‘Roles’. Once created the Role
can be assigned to multiple operators. Roles can be
linked to a Windows Group and are relevant when Active
Directory is being used.

When DNA connects to a Client PC for the first time
it will automatically ‘bind’ the logged on user as the
PC Owner. A new ‘Bind Users’ dialog allows you to manually
change the PC Owner details if this is not the permanent
‘owner’.
ENHANCED Software Inventory
The newly introduced ‘Installed Programs’ option mirrors
the add/remove programs structure of your Client machines,
detailing the license levels for the displayed applications.

Support for Sub-Url’s added allowing you to restrict
both complete and specific pages within a website.

Peripheral Hardware items such as PDAs or Mobile phones
can now be assigned to multiple machines simultaneously
extending NetSupport DNA's use as a central reporting
point for technology assets.

The NetSupport DNA Query tool is a unique utility that
allows an operator to produce custom reports and data
views based on all database fields. This has been extended
to include totalling functions for values such as time
and costs.
