New Features
Remote Uninstallation for Windows Roaming Client 2.0.1+
Admins can now seamlessly uninstall Remote Clients (RC) directly from the App Dashboard, addressing a key community request. This update supports triggering or queuing uninstalls for active devices, ensuring automatic restoration of network settings without user intervention. Uninstallation is integrated into single, multi-select, and bulk deletion options, with accurate status tracking.
Purpose-Specific Log Files
The RC logging system has been improved by splitting a single log file into multiple purpose-specific files. These new logs are fully integrated into the debug tool.
WinRC Debug Tool Update
The WinRC Debug Tool now supports IPv6-enabled network interfaces even when configured in IPv4-only mode. It utilizes updated DNS resolution methods to ensure accurate diagnostics and improve troubleshooting capabilities.
Sleep-Study Integration in Debug Script
A new sleep-study script has been added to the troubleshooting toolkit, allowing admins to correlate device sleep patterns with recent controller activity. This enhancement provides insights into device states to help identify and resolve operational issues effectively.
Bug Fixes
Domain Resolution Discrepancy:
Resolved an issue where queries to non-existent hosts with local domain suffixes incorrectly returned an unknown IP. The correct response (SERVFAIL or NXDOMAIN) is now provided, ensuring proper functionality, particularly in VPN environments.
Improved Local Domain Handling After Sleep:
Fixed an issue where WinRC failed to query local resolvers for local domains after waking from sleep, ensuring correct behavior on Windows 11 Pro systems.
Correct NXDOMAIN Response:
Addressed a problem where non-existent DNS records returned a SERVFAIL response instead of NXDOMAIN, aligning with expected DNS behavior.
RC Uninstall Log Location Update:
The RC uninstall process now writes logs to a consistent and reliable location in the system logs folder, improving accessibility for monitoring and troubleshooting.
Seamless Upgrade Installations:
Upgrades now properly stop and restart the TrayIcon process, preventing file access issues during installation.
