Enhancements in NetSupport DNA 2.70 include:

 

Windows Vista

Vista support for DNA Console and DNA clients is included in version 2.7.

Reporting / Views

• Make Dynamic Groups available to or hidden from specific Operators.
• Make Custom Queries available to or hidden from specific Operators.
• Hardware History items can be enabled / disabled as needed for reporting.
• Facility to enable / disable Logon / Logoff "popup" messages as required.
• Application Restrictions by department can now be automatically assigned to any new members of a department.
• New ‘Query Scheduler’ enables Queries to be run on a specific date or regularity based on a defined interval, for example Daily, Weekly etc. The completed report is automatically saved in a user defined location.

Console / Performance

New DNA Cache Controller. Data views are now generated by the DNA server (previously by the Console) and the resulting data can be cached on the server. The result of this is that views can be generated in background while viewing other console areas and data response times are typically improved.

Software Distribution

• Software Distribution now provides a range of Retry options allowing control of frequency, delay between attempts and support for PCs powered off at time of distribution. On power on they will be notified of a pending distribution and deployed to automatically.
• Software Distribution : Broadcast. When deploying to computers on a local subnet from the server or distribution warehouse, UDP can now be utilised for significant performance benefits. For example:
  
  To Distribute a 50Mb package to 90 computers over a regular 100mb network: Traditional deploy:
  - 8 minutes 48 seconds
  - UDP deploy: 1 minute 39 seconds
  Both distribution methods are supported in DNA 2.7
