Cuando el escaneo para la existencia de equipos (via tcp 139 y 445), el motor de escaneo hacía un tiempo fuera después de 5 segundos si no ha recibido una respuesta. El menu de Tools-Options-Scan ofrece un campo para el tiempo fuera de la conexión que puede ser ajustado arriba o abajo como sea necesario para la cuenta de conexiones menores de ancho de banda.
            • Added option to disable supersedence. In Tools-Options-Scan menu, a checkbox exists to disable supersedence. When checked, the scan engine will display ALL missing patches, rather than only those that necessary. Superseded missing patches are only display for items where no superseding patch has already been installed.
            • Added option for children consoles or distributed consoles to download XML files, engines, custom files, patches, and service packs from specified upstream Shavlik consoles or distribution servers (rather than each console downloading this data from the vendor websites)
            • Updated scan engine. The 5.8 patch scan engine has been redesigned. As a result, scan times may be up to 30% faster, scans can leverage dependancy data in the XML files for better scan results, and the scan engine can be easily extended to support new products and architectures via XML files updates.
            • Modified default scan templates. Changed name of QuickScan to Security Patch Scan. Removed Full Scan template from new installs (will still be present on previous installs).

        5.5.1.754

        released 11/21/2005

          Bug Fixes:

          • Corrected an issue where deploying patches via the Summary By Patch view would deploy patches to all machines whether the patch was needed or not
          • Corrected an issue where scheduled reboots using SafeReboot would occur before the scheduled time

        5.5

        released 08/31/2005

          New Features and Enhancements:

          • Name changed from Shavlik HFNetChkPro to Shavlik NetChk Protect. The Protect name is used when both Anti-Spyware and Patch Management are installed on the same console. If only the patch product is licensed, it will still reflect 'Shavlik HFNetChkPro' or 'Shavlik NetChk Patch'. If only Spyware is licensed, it will display 'Shavlik NetChk Spyware'. If both products are licensed, it will display 'Shavlik NetChk Protect'.
          • Added anti-spyware scanning and remediation
          • The default installation behavior for patch deployment has been changed in this release. By default, the patch deployment process will install the Shavlik Scheduler Service on each machine being patched. This scheduler service replaces the need to use the MS Task Scheduler. (The Shavlik Scheduler Service is more robust than the MS Task Scheduler and will run jobs that it may have missed when the machine was turned off. This service is also more reliable than the MS Task Scheduler when it comes to launching tasks on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 systems.) By default, the Shavlik Scheduler Service will remain installed and running on remote systems - even after patches have been installed. The persistent state allows for faster patch deployments in the future. If you wish, you may configure the console to remove the Shavlik Scheduler Service after each deployment task is complete, or you may instruct the console to use the MS Task Scheduler rather than the Shavlik Scheduler Service. These configuration options are located under Tools-Options-General-Scheduling.
          • The default Shavlik NetChk Spyware scan function also uses the Shavlik Scheduler Service to initiate scans of remote systems. The Shavlik Scheduler Service will be installed on all machines during the spyware scan. This is known as the 'Dissolving Service Scan'. The alternate option is known as the 'Network Scan' and can be chosen in the spyware scan template. The Shavlik Scheduler Service associated with the Dissolving Service Scan can be configured to automatically remove the service when the scan is done, via Tools-Options-General-Scheduling.
          • Includes updates from SKB1956 scan engine hotfix
            • The E-Mail alerting and reporting functions have been fixed and should now operate as expected.
            • Fixed error where auto-deploy after a scheduled scan was not functioning.
            • General GUI navigation speed has been improved when viewing large scan results and when creating new or viewing existing scan or deployment templates.
            • Corrected errors with report generation.
            • Fixed option to scan for and deploy using patchtype 'Shavlik Security Agents'.
            • Corrected errors that occurred when updating machine properties.
            • Corrected error that prevented machines from being removed from the Ignore Items section of a machine group.

          Bug Fixes:

          • Reporting
            • Fixed an query in the report engine that would display one machine's results multiple times in the Detailed Scan Summary report

            • Supports detection of MDAC 2.8 SP1. This engine removes the 'Gold is more recent than SP1' messages that were displayed when scanning a system with MDAC 2.8 SP1.
