We are pleased to announce the release of ActivTrak 2.3 on April 26, 2010. This is a final, stable release, and we recommend ActivTrak users upgrade to this version. ActivTrak 2.3 delivers a variety of  improved features, including: multiple NIC hand, 64 bit ActivTrak Agent,  and modified Viewer.

This list covers the major upgrades, but doesn’t include every little bug fix and change:

• Agent and Viewer can handle multiple NICs
• Modified Viewer to handle IP changes
• Fxed agent to handle slow binding on IP changes
• Fixed a list of UAC Issues.

Misc:

• Modified relay to allow installation on 64 bit computers
• Removed unnecessary call to picture properties that caused crash if session not found when creating snapshot
• Modified realtime view to use computer name as initial sort criteria
• Changed domain dialog to set focus to OK button after successful Add
• Save authenticated domain list after initial startup.  Makes next startup as fast as possible.
• Modified subnet dialog to preload appropriate masks for private networks
• Widened remote install dialog
• Added version status reporting to relay.  Now shows version number in remote install dialog.
• Make viewer broadcast threads self deleting to prevent delay when closing net views.
• Added default message “ActivTrak started…” to agent so it will report back immediately after remote install even if no user activity

We hope your ActivTrak usage is progressing well and wanted to alert you that there are new versions of the Agent and the Viewer available for download. In addition to some bug fixes the following new features are included:

• Screen Pass remote control for lock, unlock, logoff, shutdown
• Support for using the Viewer across a VPN connection
• Optional Viewer minimization to notification area, for use with alarms
