Situation
On November 6, 2008 Lumension Security released a revision "C" to SP1 (SP1c) which resolves a minor installation issue with SP1. Users who have already installed SP1 do not need to install SP1c.
- Search Filter from Users Page
Search Filter created from the Users Page to quickly identify PatchLink Administrators, Managers, or Operators. - Custom Roles are Available in Role Template
Allows the Administrator to create role based access control (RBAC) Roles using custom RBAC Templates. - Language Selection
Allows the Administrator to select the languages the Update Server downloads from the Global Subscription Server. - Dynamic IP Grouping
Update Server automatically will create system groups based on IP Address to identify machines by network segment or location. - Unmanaged Device Grouping
Update Server automatically assigns machines to a new system group called “Ungrouped” for devices that are not assigned to a custom group which allows Administrators to quickly identify assets that are not assigned to a management group. - Drag-and-Drop Grouping
New AJAX Web Control that allows the Administrator to move a custom group by dragging the group to a parent or child group. - Increased support for Mac
Added support for Apple's latest operating system Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) which includes a graphical installer for all Mac supported platforms.
