Feature Enhancements in Focus

Notification Server Enables Instant Remote Access

A new
component, Notification Server, is included in Desktop Central that
enables instant access to remote computers that are across WAN. Earlier,
it takes a maximum of 3 minutes to take control of a remote computer.
The Notification Server uses a dedicated TCP connection with the remote
computers at port 8027 to perform instant on demand operations like
Patch and Asset Scanning, Remote Control, Remote Shutdown etc.

Disable Specific USB Instance

USB Device
management now provides more granular control to administrators. They
will be able to enable or disable specific USB instances on the network
thereby providing more control on the devices to be restricted or
allowed.

Protect User Privacy in Remote Control

Remote
Control provides administrators the ability to protect user privacy by
taking the users consent prior to taking control of their computer.
Earlier, it was left to the administrators choice whether to use take
consent or not by enabling/or disabling user confirmation at any point.
We have now added another layer of security by which, you can choose to
force this user consent on all remote connections, while setting up the
Desktop Central Server. Once enabled, it cannot be reverted even by the
Desktop Central administrator.
