The change from my.swmailassure.com to securemail.management, originally scheduled for the 25th of July, has been post-poned until the 1st of August. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.
Please see the original announcement for more details regarding this change.
As more information about the recently disclosed local privilege escalation Linux vulnerability, “Sequoia” (CVE-2021-33909 – https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-33909), has come to light we wanted to keep our partners in the loop. This is a vulnerability that all MSPs who support or use Linux systems should be aware of. Based on our understanding of the vulnerability, it is unlikely to be a risk to N-able’s N-central. To exploit the vulnerability an attacker needs to have local shell access. While a customer running N-central is theoretically at risk, this risk is mitigated by the fact that N-central runs on a hardened virtual appliance with local OS access disabled.
Continue readingWe want to let you know we will be retiring support for Windows XP® and Server 2003 in N-able™ RMM and the N-central® platform in 2021. As you know, Microsoft® officially ended support for these operating systems several years ago. We have continued to offer agent-based monitoring during this time, as we appreciate many partners have embedded systems that cannot easily be upgraded.
We have now reached the point where it’s no longer possible to support these legacy operating systems with agent-based monitoring.
Beginning October 1, 2021, we can no longer guarantee agent support for those operating systems. Windows XP and Server 2003 devices may no longer connect to RMM and N-central, and they may start to show as overdue or offline. We encourage you to remove these devices from RMM and N-central by this date, or you may still be billed for these devices.
Note that you can still perform basic monitoring of these devices without an agent by treating them as ‘network devices’ in RMM (coming soon), or by monitoring them via a Windows Probe in N-central (available today). For more information, please refer to this KB article for RMM and this KB article for N-central.
New Feature Adds
Counters beside every different credential/documentation category within clients and the company vault. Allowing our partners a quick reference to the state and contents within the categories.
Post Import Table to assist in the identification of errors encountered when importing information into Passportal. The table will id each individual csv and list the exact errors experienced when trying to import. Users receive additional value by being able to export the error logs themselves and the individual csv files limited just to the errored results. Creating a smaller subset of just the errored data to assist the user in rectification.
Customer Bug Fixes
Automated Workflows running against disabled clients
Asset column no longer listing the template description
Feature Adds
Remote Audio Implementation – Allows our mac users of Take Control to realize the same level of remote audio recording as our windows partners receive.

Console – Have improved the error handling of backend calls
Bug Fixes
Improved performance on M1 mac devices to greatly improve speed
Issues with image freezes after long session times
Fixed issue around elevating and uninstalling agents post 6.00.26 release
