Windows RC Agent with Take Control Upgrade
We’re pleased to announce that we have just released a new Windows RC Agent (v10.13.2), with improvements to the Take Control feature, including a faster install process when deploying to devices. We aim to promote the agent to GA in the near future and encourage you to run this latest RC Agent on your test devices.
Patch Management Enhancements with Improved Auto-Approval Rules
We are also continuing the roll-out of the exciting new Patch Management functionality, allowing you to set auto-approval rules using Microsoft patch classifications along with more granular settings for 3rd party patches. The feature improvements are already available for partners in the Asia Pacific region, with Europe in progress and the Americas expected to follow in the next couple of weeks.
Important Reminder: Advance Notice for Ending Support for TLS 1.0/1.1
As communicated, from March 1st, N-sight RMM will no longer support Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 or 1.1 for Agent to RMM console communication. Depending on a device’s configuration, this could affect older operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and 2012, as well as any remaining Windows XP and Server 2003 devices. Please refer to this blog post for more information.
