Updated Today Tab Look-and-Feel
Security Manager provides an updated Today tab with a new look-and-feel. The Today tab displays summary information about the condition of the configuration group. This handy view lets you quickly check alerts and events from a central console window, without having to browse multiple detailed views.
New Getting Started Tab
The new Getting Started Tab displays tasks to add managed computers that you want to monitor, enable auditing, install agents immediately on managed computers, populate computer groups with computers, customize rules, configure global settings, configure notification groups, and view alerts.
Resolves Output Directory for Reporting Issue
If you installed Security Manager in a folder other than the C:\Program Files\MCS one point folder, you had to manually configure the Reporting Microsoft Access database to point to the folder where you installed Security Manager. This release resolves this issue.
Resolves Remote Access Connection by Users Report Issues
The Remote Access Connection by Users report included only Remote Access Server (RAS) data for Windows NT 4.0 servers. This release replaces this report with two new reports: Remote Access Connection by Users for Windows NT and Remote Access Connection by Users for Windows 2000 and XP. These reports also provide information for Routing and Remote Access Connections (RRAS).
This release also corrects an additional issue for the Remote Access Connections by User report. The time displayed in the Connected and Disconnected columns was incorrectly calculated. Security Manager now displays the local time for the location of the RAS server.
Resolves QueueManager Use of Excessive CPU and Memory
Security Manager 3.50 corrects an issue where QueueManager.exe used excessive CPU time and memory.
