My 5.0 update comments

[danielm]

Ok. the update worked. was fast but....

1) I found the first start webpage that showed up a bit confusing. Why ask for my credentials if I already had a running system? So I guess it took my creds and put them as Global, but kept the other ones so I had duplicates? i cleaned that up i think.

... I like the posibility to map creds to a pc...

2) the "Computer Exclusion" list i had in the last version was MISSING. It rescanned all my pcs that I didn't want listed. I had to re-add that list and manually Delete the added pcs.

3) I miss that little shortcut I think at the bottom right of the old webpage that linked to lansweeper.com 🙂


4) what were the default IP/computer threads for previous versions. I have 20/5 now but I cant recall if thats what I changed it to or thats the default.

5) The user/website permission setup is NICE, but now I guess i need to create ActiveDirectory groups for users to control if they can access certain things like CONFIG page? darn i'd love a simple password.... but ok.

Version 5 has "global credentials" which are used as a last resort if no other credentials could be matched.

We cannot reproduce this, please e-mail us your lansweeper\service\errorlog.txt file.

This is your value from 4.2

Yes, you need to create groups instead of creating multiple logins.
