The latest version of the Enterprise Console is now available for download, the main changes  are detailed below, for detail on fixed issues and other changes please see the release notes: http://downloads.sophos.com/readmes/sec_521_rneng.html

Configureable Filter

A new option has been added to the filter view list which enables customers to manage only computers affected by a specific detected item. A new “Configure Filters” option has been added to the Tools option enabling entry of the detected item name, wildcards are supported when entering the name. 

Last Logged on User

A new column has been added to the computer list view (under the Computer Details tab) and also in the Computer Details. This reports on the last logged on user, a couple of points to note:

• Last logged on User information is only sent to the console via RMS if there is a status message returned to the console. User logon and logoff events do not trigger sending status messages.  This means that if a user is logged on and there are no status messages while logged on the “last user” details will not be updated.
• In a typical environment the assumption is that SEC is receiving several updates per day and so last user information would normally be up to date.
• Due to privacy regulations in certain countries the display of last user details can be disabled via a registry key (http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/119239.aspx)
  

Windows 8 Remote Console Support

SEC 5.2.1 supports Windows 8 platform for Remote Console access.
