Version 1.3.0.3 |
|
|
Disabled 'Create' button if required fields are empty rather than displaying a warning. |

|
|
|
Added user template OU browse facility to allow nested OU selection. |
|
When changing the Organisational Unit (OU) assigned to a user template, the dropdown list method would only list domain level OUs for selection. The dropdown list has now been replaced with an browse window so that any OU may be selected. |

|
|

|
Fixed a usability issue where any custom comments added to an image file in the disk images list would not display the next time the wizard was loaded. |
|
|
|
Disk images list refreshes on display rather than on start-up. |
|
The wizard would refresh the list of image files displayed in the disk image list the first time the list was displayed. Changed this behaviour to refresh the list every time it is displayed, so pressing the back and then next buttons while viewing the list will refresh its contents.

Ability to create and configure bootable USB drives as well as diskettes. |

|
|
Extended teacher name options to include first initial combinations |
|
The available options for displaying the teacher names displayed to students during the coursework submission process has been extended to include 'Last Name & First Initial' and 'First Initial & Last Name' options, as this seemed to be the preference in most schools.
|
|
|

Group policy option to allow auto generation of coursework titles |
|
In response to feedback the coursework title can now be set to automatically use the name of the first item selected for review. If the item is an entire folder structure, the name of the parent folder will be used. |
|
|
|
Group policy option to exclude files & folders from import list |
|
It is now possible to define a list of files, folders or file types that will be ignored when importing an entire folder structure for review.

|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.0.1 |
|
|
Incorporated support for Windows XP visual styling. |
|
|
|
Group policy option to select how teacher names are presented. |
|
Schools have varying policies as to how a student might address a teacher, so there is scope for confusion when presented with a list of teacher names that are not immediately recognisable. The policy allows for the teachers name to be displayed in varying formats (Logon Name, Full Name, First Name or Last Name). |
|
|
|
Added event log tracking of coursework submissions. |
|
The wizard will now add entries in the application event log of the workstation used to submit the coursework that can be used as part of an audit trail should anything go wrong. |

|

File Synchroniser - 18 Updates |
|
|
Version 1.1.0.2 |
|
|
Improved speed by rejecting exclusions during import instead of compare. |
|
Previously both the local and network folders were scanned and then any files or folders excluded in group policy would be rejected as the two lists were compared. Now exclusions are rejected during the folder scans, which saves time scanning folders that aren't going to be needed. |
|
|
|
Cosmetic changes, control styling and wizard icons updated. |
|
The wizard's graphic was looking old and somewhat irrelevant (who uses floppy disks any more). Also bought the visual styling on some of the controls up to date a bit. |

|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.0.8 |
|
|
UserConfig switch added to manually assign folder parings. |

|
Version 1.0.0.7 |
|

|
|
Added support for global groups of included and excluded users. |

Image Prep Tool - 5 Updates |
|
|
Version 1.0.0.2 |
|
|
Workaround for issue with SysPrep failing to reset mass storage drivers. |
|
Workaround for an apparent bug with SysPrep when mass storage reset is enabled; whereby SysPrep will only reset the mass storage driver list every other time it is run. Though not officially documented by Microsoft, this behaviour has been widely reported on the web. As a workaround the Image Prep tool will check the resulting sysprep.inf file post SysPrep (if the reset mass storage option was selected) to ensure it contains the necessary settings and run SysPrep again if it does not.
|
|
|
|
Option to reset Sophos configuration settings. |
|
When imaging clients with version 4.5 and 5 of Sophos Anti-Virus installed Sophos recommend that some registry values removed prior to the system being imaged, see the Sophos KnowledgeBase Article for more details. If the Image Prep tool detects these versions of Sophos being installed it will display an additional dropdown list allowing the Sophos configuration to be reset, if selected the Image Prep tool will stop the necessary services and remove the registry values prior to commencing the SysPrep procedure. |
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.0.1 |
|
|
Adjusted image backup option to work with hidden partitions. |
|
Original version assumed the backup partition would be visible and would check for a virtual disk to create the SysPrep image on the backup partition. Added the ability to use a virtual disk on the c: drive if the backup partition is hidden.
|
|
|
|
Modified SysPrep command line to use basic switches and let ImgPrep do the rest. |
|
Original version used SysPrep to restart or shutdown the computer if selected to do so, however this limited the scope for testing the success of the procedure. SysPrep will now only ever quit when completed with the ImgPrep tool handling the restart, shutdown or backup operations when completed. |

|
Cosmetic change to display the organisational units in the tree view alphabetical order rather than creation order as they were previously displayed. |

When deleting a user account the user's home folder would be left intact, unless the option to update the folder had been change in the Options & Settings window.

|
|
Version 1.3.0.9 |
|
|
Filtered out display of contact items when viewing user accounts. |

Contact items are a special type of user that can be created on networks that have a Microsoft Exchange server and the Management Console is not designed to manage them. |
|
|
|
User icon now indicates if the account is disabled. |

Disabled user accounts now use a different icon when displayed in the user list for easier identification. The list column indicating which accounts are disabled is still available if required, but this was not a commonly used option. |

|
|
|
Added a custom HTTP header to console browser for improved online support. |
|
Added a new HTTP header (HTTP_SCHOOLSUITE) to the Internet Explorer based browser used by the Management Console to improve the display of web pages used by the online help facilities.

|
|
|
|
Version 1.3.0.6 |
|
|
Overflow error when logging a home folder containing more than 4GB of one type of file. |
|
Fixed an, as yet unreported error that could occur when a users home folder was logged in the User Details window. Home folders of more than 4GB would log correctly, but if the total space consumed by any one file type (e.g.: mp3 files) was greater then 4GB an overflow error would occur. |

|
|
Version 1.3.0.5 |
|
|
Added ability to bulk enable user accounts. |

|
|
|
New task request form updated to match version in Teacher Resources. |
|
Task request form used to log a new task from within the Management Console now has the same look and feel as the new version in Teacher Resources. However, whist the look and feel may now be identical they are not functionally equivalent, as the version in the Management Console will not generate an email notification of new task requests. |
|
|
|

Profile Manager can auto-upgrade messaging client. |
|
|
|
Option to disable resetting NetSupport by room or client name. |
|
Requested by Norwood, they need the option to allow certain client s to define their own NetSupport configuration, so they can avoid teachers accidentally taking over computers in another room with the same name.Agreed solution is to add a policy option for a text field that they can enter a semi-colon delimited string of machines that Tweaker can string match against and skip the NSS browse reset if required.
|
|
|
|
Now supports stopping and starting services during deployment. |
|
Seems to work very well, if the scope lists it the service will be stopped and stared during install, if it was running in the first place.
|
|
|
|
Handle end session request on large profiles. |
|
Currently works very well, but needs to refuse unload when asked or log-off can kill it before it has completed on large profiles. Norwood have a 15MB mandatory profile, they are working on reducing this but Macromedia's tools insist on adding 9MB to the user profile.When logging off as ProfileAdmin the windows end session query will often kill of Tweaker before it is done, so they have to remember to run the cleanup before logging off. Agreed to add a policy option to force Tweaker to refuse to unload until it has finished its business, but decided that it does not need a policy setting Tweaker should make windows wait if it needs to by default. |
|
|
|
Now supports time limitations set in deployment scope. |
|
Seems to work okay, tested with various combinations including if the stop time is earlier than start time (i.e. the next day).
|
|
|
|
Now supports auto-upgrade via SchoolSuite upgrade manager. |
|
Investigate if Tweaker can be made to update itself as part of the deployment routine, because there is no reliable way of updating it via the login script.Turned into a major task and worthwhile new feature across the range. New upgrade manager tool can be user do update any client that supports it with a class file and 6 lines of code in the form load event! |
