In today’s Dashboard release, we’re pleased to announce the availability of a new Release Candidate Agent, v10.3.3 RC. The new agent adds support for ‘Arcserve UDP v6’ to the Backup Check and ‘Kaspersky Endpoint Security v10’ to the Antivirus Check. It also improves how the system handles a reboot requirement in the event a machine needs to restart in order to complete a .NET upgrade – if this is the case, the reboot is suppressed and you’ll be notified through the Dashboard instead.

We’ll also be releasing the new Product Navigator on the back of this release – read this earlier blog post to find out more. As mentioned in that update, the new Navigator is being released in a phased rollout over the coming weeks. The first territory to take advantage of the new Navigator will be Ireland.

Here are the release notes for today’s update…
