Mac Client 6.5.3 – Malware, Better Logging, and ScreenConnect Support

Malware
Features

  • Support for recent Malware variants

Changes

  • Improved readability when reporting volume sizes
  • Gathers details for ScreenConnect unattended hosts, including multiple Host setups per-computer.
  • Better logging in cases where sleep prevents a normal report.

Bug Fixes

  • Reduced false positives for Apple’s Disk Utility RAID reporting, when no RAID set was present.

This is another release which contains as much for the Watchman Monitoring team as for our end users. We’ve improved logging and stability in cases where a computer might sleep during a report.

Of course, we’ve also found some goodness for our subscribers as well. When a computer is set up with unattended Host access to more than one ScreenConnect server, 6.5.3 gathers the information we need to properly support ScreenConnect. In a coming enhancement of our Dashboard, subscribers will be able to enter the ScreenConnect servers they use and enjoy one-click access to their computers.

And, what release wouldn’t be complete catching the latest malware releases? Subscribers can view the full list in our Community Forum. Enjoy!

With today’s release, we’re adding our next batch of False Mount beta testers. If you ever wondered if the Macs you manage have false mounts, now’s the time to find out!

Apple Business Manager Integration Improvements

Ten days ago we connected Watchman Monitoring to Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager.
