Features and enhancements

Improved Automated Tasks output | 21 March 2024

We added improved messaging when an automated task script fails with the error message, Invalid Script Parameters. Now more useful information is provided to help diagnose and resolve issues with scripts or endpoints. On the South-pane Tasks tab, click the link in the Output column to see more of the failed script's output. Here's an example of the improved messaging:

New columns added to the Asset Inventory | 21 March 2024

The Asset Inventoryis updated with five new columns: MAC address, BIOS, Asset added time, External IP address, and Asset age. See Monitor using Asset Inventory.

Device Management for Apple UI update | 12 March 2024

Tabs in Device Management for Apple (DMA) are renamed and their order across the page is changed. Profile Deployment is changed to Devices and is automatically open when you open DMA. Profile Library is changed to Profiles, and Apple Business Manager is changed to Auto-enrollment.

The tab functions remain the same. The Device Management for Apple section is updated with these UI changes.

Edit the alert policy for EDR checks | 29 February 2024

You can now set your preferred global alert settings for EDR checks by changing the alert settings at a policy level. The EDR Agent Health Status and EDR Threat Status checks are grouped under one Integration Check. See Configure the default alert policy.

Updated Microsoft Security Center check | 5 January 2024

We added the option to exclude Windows Defender (enabled by default) when you add the Antivirus Update Check with Microsoft Security Center. This option ensures you are alerted if a third-party antivirus product is either not installed or has been removed.

For more information, see Antivirus Update Check - Microsoft Security Center.

New interactive charts for Asset Management | 15 December 2023

We added interactive charts at the top of the Asset Inventory. The charts make it easier for you to see your managed devices' operating systems, operating system versions, models, and RAM sizes. Now, in addition to filtering your Asset Inventory using the table options, you can also select chart elements to filter on multiple data points.

For example, you can filter RAM sizes to find underpowered devices, filter for a specific customer, and then export to CSV to incorporate the data into device lifecycle reports.

For more information, see Filter Asset Inventory.

macOS Sonoma support | 5 December 2023

The Mac Agent now supports macOS Sonoma (macOS 14). For the list of supported macOS versions, see Supported operating systems: macOS.

Integrated Take Control update | 5 December 2023

The Integrated Take Control Windows Agent 7.50.04 includes fixes and updates to enhance the overall performance and user experience. The mechanism responsible for cleaning up common log folders in the agent is refined for improved efficiency. The automatic re-installation process for the Take Control Agent service is enhanced to ensure seamless functionality. When the Take Control Agent is uninstalled, you can now view the “Uninstall Reason” in the local Windows Events.

Updated Microsoft Security Center check | 5 December 2023

We implemented new logic and changes to the Antivirus Update Check with Microsoft Security Center. The check pass / fail criteria is now stricter—the new logic means any product returned by the check that is either out of date or disabled causes the check to fail. This new logic addresses situations where a partner may have both antivirus and EDR solutions installed but both products report as antivirus in the Microsoft Security Center.

For more information, see Antivirus Update Check - Microsoft Security Center.

New Automated Tasks for endpoint security | 10 October 2023

We added the following popular scripts from the Automation Cookbook to the N-sight RMM Dashboard to make them easier to deploy.

  • Enable BitLocker
  • Monitor BitLocker (added as a script check)
  • BitTorrent Detection and Mitigation
  • Workstation Secure Settings Maintenance
  • Enable TLS 1.2

Asset Inventory improved filtering | 10 October 2023

We added column searching to the RAM column, and you can now add RAM when you user filter builder. Filtering on RAM can make it easier to find underpowered devices. For more information, see Build complex filters for Asset Inventory.

Asset Inventory improved export and filtering | 12 September 2023

When you export Asset Inventory you can export all asset data to Excel, or only data from currently selected columns. This means you don’t have to temporarily switch columns back on when you want to export all the data. For more information, see Export Asset Inventory.

We added column searching to the Asset Name and IP Address columns, and you can now add Asset Name and IP Address when you user filter builder. For more information, see Build complex filters for Asset Inventory.

Asset Inventory added | 5 September 2023

We are on a path to improve and modernize the N-sight RMM user experience, and our first step is to add an Asset Inventory.

The Asset Inventory enables you to view, filter, and search asset data for servers and workstations. After you search and filter to display the device lists you need, you can export the data to Microsoft Excel or view the devices pre-filtered in the N-sight RMM Dashboard.

Use the Asset Inventory charts and table options to:

  • Select one or more chart elements to filter on multiple data points.
  • Filter or sort by columns or use the more detailed Filter Builder options.
  • Search for a specific device using the search box or use the column searches to find groups of devices.
  • Choose the columns to display, drag and drop columns to move, and fix columns to the right or left.

The last filters and settings you use in Asset Inventory are present the next time you open it. Select Clear at the top right of the data table to reset to the default Asset Inventory view.
