We’re pleased to announce that the 60 Automated Tasks we added over the past few weeks are now Generally Available with the release of our new GA Agent, v10.3.5. The update is currently rolling out across the Dashboard territories so that it will be available to all customers by Friday, July 29th.

Please update your servers and workstations to run the new GA Agent at your earliest convenience, so you can take advantage of the new scripts, and drive greater automation and remote management across your estate. 

The new tasks are built on top of the Script Builder feature we recently announced, and as such have the same system requirements: Devices need to run .NET 4.5.1 and PowerShell 2.0 or above. To assist in running the new tasks on devices with older versions of .NET, we recently a new Automated Task to install .NET 4.5.1: Just look for the task under ‘System Control’ in the list.
