The following are the major feature enhancements in this release, for more detail on individual version updates, read the Update Notes.

 

Added MSP and MSU support        

Software Deployment now provides native support for deploying Microsoft Installer patches and updates via MSP and MSU files. MSU files will only work with Windows Vista and Windows 2008 platforms.

 

Added deployment with BAT and CMD file

Software deployments can now more easily be run with BAT and CMD script files, including command-line parameters.

 

Network Interface Card support in inventory

We now collect information related to your Network Interface Cards (NICs).This data is seen on the individual computer windows and, of course, you can create a custom report to display and arrange the data.

 

Printer inventory scan

1.4 allows you to see which printers are configured at each target system. Note that we only report printers as they are know to the target systems. Admin Arsenal does NOT scan the network for printing devices and report the results.

 

Database stability improvements

1.4 removes many of the annoying database timeouts that users experienced with past versions.
