New auto-doscovery client would get physical cpu count, cores per cpu, cpu speed and memory information now while discovering windows and linux devices on the network and upload the data to device42.

Windows device names in all lowercase

We have made a small change, where all discovered windows devices would be added with lowercase(instead of all caps in previous versions). This will not change any devices already inventoried in device42 appliance.

All servers and computers in AD option for windows is no longer there.

Option to discover all servers or computers in AD has been taken out for now. You can get that list from command line or powershell and copy paste into the computer list in the auto-discovery client.

Native Software

With this version, there are no more external dependencies on iron python and powershell.
Now we are doing wmi calls directly from C# and still using ssh for linux discovery.
So install is available in 2 flavors now: Regular msi package for installation and portable zip folder, where you can drop in the folder and it is ready to go!

Source code available on request
