Renaming devices
Most network management solutions such as EISNet do not support the renaming of a device. The problem is that whilst the device name may be changed, the database which manages the network will not know the new name.
EISNet v1.7 now has functionality built in to detect a name change on a workstation. This means, you can login to a workstation as an Administrator, rename it and on when it reboots, EISNet Client will detect this, and update the database accordingly.
In addition, we have now introduced a brand new feature in Manager which allows you to select a device and rename it remotely, from within Manager itself. The device will then optionally reboot.
Redeploying packages after a rebuild
From time to time it is necessary to rebuild (reinstall Windows) on a device. Sometimes this is due to problems, other times, the device might be replaced. In EISNet, it was not possible to rebuild a work station and automatically redeploy the packages to the device. Previously you would rebuild the work station, then use Manager to reassign the packages.
In EISNet v1.7, this is no longer the case. EISNet Client is now intelligent enough to know when the device has been rebuilt. When this happens, Client will automatically re-install packages.
