-
- - Build 85: The minor bug in the "Report Permissions" function is fixed.
-

- when you want to set different permissions and/or audit rules for different
- types of devices.
-
- - Improvements in access control features for CD burners and non-storage USB
- devices.
-
- - There is now the option to "Enable access control for virtual CD-ROMs" for
- situations when you want to lock CD-ROM drives, but allow user access to
- software-emulated CDs.
-
- - The new audit plug-in, "Report PnP Devices" creates a report showing all
- USB, FireWire and PCMCIA devices that are or were connected to computers
- in the network.
-
- - The selection of audit types has been extended to include "Full Audit",
- "Audit Read" and "Audit Write" to provide greater flexibility and resource
- conservation.
-
- - Two new installation parameters have been added for unattended ("silent")
- setup: you can now define audit rules for devices and accounts with
- read-only access to devices in the devicelock.ini file; and you can disable
- the adding of administrators and SYSTEM accounts to a device's permissions
- list.
-
- - Support has been added for the recent Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1
-
- - Other internal improvements.
-
-
- What's New in DeviceLock 5.7 (versus 5.62)
-
- - Added the new function - Auditing. DeviceLock can audit user's activity for
- a particular device type. This capability allows you to audit activities
- that belong to a certain user or user group. DeviceLock employs the standard
- event logging subsystem and writes audit records to the Windows event log so
- they can be read using any event viewer software (such as EventViewer) as
- well as with DeviceLock's built-in Audit Log Viewer.
-
- - The new management tool is added. DeviceLock Enterprise Manager is a new
- generation of the "Batch Permissions" function available in DeviceLock
- Manager. Based on the multithreaded engine, it speeds up all activity -
- including installation/uninstallation of DeviceLock Service, setting
- permissions and reporting permissions - making it one of the most powerful
- management systems for large networks.
-
- - Now you can control DeviceLock via Group Policy in an Active Directory
- domain. DeviceLock Group Policy Manager allows you to manage DeviceLock
- settings and permissions via Group Policy as an alternative to installing
- DeviceLock Manager on the server. You can deploy DeviceLock Service and its
- settings to the entire network using standard policy management tools
- because Group Policy is a built-in mechanism of Active Directory. DeviceLock
- Group Policy Manager ships as a separate tool so you need to obtain it from
- our website.
-
- - The read-only access type can be set directly for USB and FireWire ports.
- However, it affects storage devices only.
-
- - Now you can instruct DeviceLock to use a fixed TCP port for the RPC
- communication between DeviceLock Service and DeviceLock Manager, making it
- easier to configure a firewall.
-
-
- What's New in DeviceLock 5.62 (versus 5.61)

- devices instead of hard disks.

- authorize only specific devices that will not be locked regardless of any
- other settings.
-
- - Added the "Report Permissions" function that allows you to generate a report
- concerning the permissions that have been set. You can see which users are
- assigned for what device, which parameters in Security Settings are
- disabled, and what devices are on the USB White List on all the computers
- across your network.
