Hey techs!
Happy Holidays! Here’s what we’ve been working on since our last post:
Kabuto Live Updates
- Added ability to select a time-frame when requesting Remote Access
- Added support for Windows 7 and 32-bit versions of Windows
- Fixed multiple issues causing “Remote Host Not Found” error
- Fixed a false-positive where Kabuto Online Dashboard was saying that Kabuto Service was online. Techs were able to click the Kabuto Live button because of this, and the Kabuto Service wasn’t actually running, resulting in “Remote Host Not Found” error.
P.S. For those who don’t know: Our latest and greatest creation, Kabuto Live, is now available for use! This module allows you to remotely connect to and manage Devices straight from Kabuto, so you no longer have to worry about launching another remote access tool to handle issues that arise with customers.
We encourage you to test it out via a Free 30-Day Trial, initiated via clicking the “Kabuto Live” button in the top-right corner of any Device. Find out more in our blog post here.
New Stuff
- Installation Process Update: When you use the Technician Installer, it will now show you the status of the first sync after installation. This gives you more information regarding the progress of EAM Installation, Patch Management, and more, while installing Kabuto.
This mean that:
– Techs can gain insight into the installation process in real-time.
– Computers can be given back to clients faster, because there’s less guess-work during the installation process.
- Easily View Latest Sync Info: With this feature, you can simply “Shift + Left Click” on the Kabuto system tray icon to view the latest Device sync information! Check out this video to see it in action.
- Sync Update
– We’ve revamped Kabuto syncing so that individual items can sync independently of full sync.
– We made it so that certain items now sync as often as once every 15 minutes.
