What's new in Management Center?

Version 2018.3

Management Database Scheduled Computer Maintenance

In the 10.1 FR4 release we introduced a Maintenance section to the console. This facilitates the creation, modification and status toggling of event housekeeping jobs from the Management console. In the 2018.3 release of the Management Center this maintenance functionality has been extended to allow for the scheduled removal of machines, to simplify ongoing administration.

For more information, see Maintenance

Deployment Group Computer Count

Prior to 10.1 FR2 it was possible from within the Management console to easily see the number of machines per Deployment Group. Following feedback from existing customers, we have reinstated this count allowing an administrator to see how many machines are present within a Deployment Group, for example, when filtering.

For more information, see Deployment Group Computers.

Product rebrand to User Workspace Manager (UWM)

There may still be references to DesktopNow in certain components, for example in the Registry or Windows Services.
