New Computer Management capabilities in Desktop Authority 8:
- Application Launcher
- MSI Packages
- Patch Deployment
- Service Packs
- Registry
- Inventory Data Collection
Computer Management configurations are applied by a new Computer Management Agent. This agent runs as a Windows service, starting when Windows is started and always available to apply configuration until the computer is shut down. The agent can apply configured settings at Windows Startup and Shutdown, at Refresh intervals, or at any scheduled time and frequency established by the administrator.
Desktop Authority 8.0 uses ScriptLogic’s patented Validation Logic for Computer Management so the administrator can target computer specific settings based on a robust set of selection criteria.
Computer Management is especially helpful in configuring desktops during non-working hours and in configuring servers, where there may be no user logins to trigger configuration events.
