What’s New:

The client installation program for Policy Commander version 1.0.1 inadvertently timed out causing the client to prematurely expire in early May, 2005. Although any clients installed prior to May, 2005 continued to work, the disabling function in version 1.0.1 prevented users from installing new clients.

  The client installation program in version 1.0.2 no longer expires.


What’s New:

Policy Commander version 1.0 displayed an enforcement status that did not always match the compliance status displayed for a given policy. For example, upon enforcing a policy, the console might display "error.” This was because Policy Commander's first check of the policy after enforcing it still found it out of compliance. This has been fixed.

  Policy Commander's "dismiss" and "enforce" links have been improved and now work correctly in the Firefox browser.
