OSD – Provisioning Template Selection

With the latest updates to Operating System Deployment (OSD), customers now have greater flexibility and control over their provisioning processes. No longer being limited to a single Ivanti Provisioning Template for a given OS helps you being more efficient. Customize workflows using different templates with predefined actions for tailored processes.

Multiple Provisioning Templates assignable on the admin site
Templates can be restricted by user groups / Console Categories
Choose OS and optionally switch between available Provisioning Templates
Extended OSD API supports multiple templates
All changes fully support backwards compatibility
No need to change your Provisioning Templates, PowerShell Scripts, settings, etc.
New settings to adjust the Console OSD behaviour to your liking
Software Categories are now named Console Categories

Advanced Patch - New Vulnerability Overview filter

The view used to present a comprehensive list of vulnerabilities, regardless of their detection status. The new filter options helps you keeping a clearer focus on actionable vulnerabilities.

Show Do Not Scan
Only show detected
Only show on autofix

Advanced Patch - Descriptions

Description texts are now displayed when selecting PatchGroups or PatchSteps, providing additional context and assistance. This enhancement is particularly helpful as it addresses the previous limitation of name length restrictions for groups and steps.

Admin - Download statistics for all devices

Utilize new statistics for improved network traffic management. Quickly identify incorrect routes or troublesome Preferred Servers. This feature was adopted from Home - Quick Inventory but is now available for the entirety of all devices.

API - UpdateAgentConfiguration

The latest Ivanti Service Update for Version 2022 introduced a change in assigning agent configurations to devices, requiring a cumbersome drag-and-drop method. Our API streamlines this process, enabling automation of configuration assignment directly from the Console, saving time and effort for users. See our API documentation for further instructions.

Home - SmartFilter for Custom Inventory

Previously restricted to the "contains" operator, SmartFilter for Custom Inventory fields now offer a broader range of filtering options. Users can now utilize familiar filters such as checking for empty fields or specific values, improving flexibility and usability.
