Remote Control Performance Improved

Remote Control performance has been optimized. Administrator would be able to set the compression level for LAN and WAN. Meaning the user can choose Fast and Best compression. Remote Control is also enhanced to disable Wallpaper & Aero themes of the remote computer while controlling the remote desktop.

Users can make requests to use Prohibited Software

Prohibited Software has been enhanced to enable users request their administrators to use a software that is prohibited to use in their network mentioning the reasons for usage. Administrator can choose to either accept or decline the request, When accepted, users can continue to use them for a specified period.

Patch Approval Process Introduced

With Automated Patch Deployment, Desktop Central takes care of deploying the required patches automatically without any user intervention. But, there may be cases where you would first like to test a patch before rolling out to the entire organization. The Patch Approval process will help you achieve this with ease. When you enable this feature, only the approved patches are deployed via Automated Patch Deployment. Administrators can test and approve the patches to initiate bulk deployment.

What’s Cooking?

The features in our roadmap that are currently under development include:

  • Automating Software Deployment
  • Ability to deploy configurations immediately on the client computers.
