Both Kevin and I have been busy coding away on EISNet 1.8. We've taken this opportunity to move EISNet to .NET and bring in support for Windows 8 (Microsoft are not officially supporting the VB6 libraries on Windows 8)
So what does this mean to you the end users? EISNet is becoming a lot more robust with the ability to fix bugs and implement new features with greater ease. The client side components (Client Service, Agent, MyPage, Class Chooser and LoginScript) have already been rewritten in .NET and the end results are fantastic. The Client service can now handle multiple commands concurrently so while a device is installing packages you could also execute commands and take an inventory with no problems. LoginScript will map drives, connect printers and build the shortcuts simultaneously bringing vastly reduced login times.
On top of this, Agent, MyPage, Class Chooser and LoginScript have a more "polished" look and feel as we're no longer confined to the limitations imposed by VB6.
If I ask Kevin nicely, he might even post some screen shots.
