We’re pleased to let you know that we have started the release a new Windows Agent (RC) with a number of important upgrades to monitoring and performance. At the same time, we’re pleased to confirm the latest Mac Agent was upgraded to GA, which contains improvements to the Daemon checks for Mac workstations and to iOS device enrolment.
The new Mac GA Agent is already updated in all territories, while the Windows RC agent is expected to be available to all partners by tomorrow.
For the latest Windows Agent v10.12.0 (RC), here are the key details:
- Automation Manager upgrade: This agent updates the ‘ScriptRunner’ service that runs the Automation Manager scripts, so it’s the latest version (v2.30). It contains a whole series of performance updates and bugfixes, see release notes below for details.
- Monitoring service upgrade: The agent component that processes RMM’s monitoring checks (the ‘fmplugin’ service) can now be upgraded more quickly thanks to improvements in this agent. We have also improved how it handles logs to aid with issue detection.
- EDR Script Check update: The new Windows agent includes improvements to make the ‘SentinelOne Monitoring’ script check more reliable.
- Take Control agent: The new agent includes improvements to how the system installs the Take Control feature to help with performance and reliability.
- Agent file size: We have optimised the agent installer so it’s considerably smaller and more efficient.
Together, these enhancements to the Windows Agent and its components are very much focused on performance and quality of service for partners. We encourage you to install the latest RC agent on your test devices and share any feedback you may have, as we gear up to making it our new GA Agent in the near future.
