Advisory: Enterprise Console, changes to the user interface in version 3.1
Enterprise Security and Control, version 8.0, which was released on 14 April, 2008, includes an upgrade to Enterprise Console, which has changed to version 3.1 to include Network Access Control (NAC) functionality and third-party security software removal.
If you do not want to install NAC, you do not need to upgrade to Enterprise Console version 3.1.
Once you've downloaded and installed the update, you will notice a number of changes in Enterprise Console, version 3.1:
- A NAC button to configure the Sophos NAC Manager console has been added to the toolbar.
- An option to configure the NAC URL has been added to the Tools menu.
- NAC policies are listed in the policy pane. Double-clicking a NAC policy icon will automatically launch Sophos NAC Manager where you can view or edit the policy.
- The 'Protect computers' wizard now includes the option of installing the NAC Agent on the endpoint computers.
- The 'Protect computers' wizard now also includes the option of removing third-party security software on the endpoint computers.
- Additional information regarding NAC within the Computer List View.
Please note, it may be necessary to restart your server after downloading and installing this upgrade to Enterprise Console.
