Ability to configure and run custom PowerShell Commandlets from within VSM
VSM now provides you with even more control over your windows environments.
We have added the ability to periodically execute custom PowerShell commands for Managed Windows Servers and view results within VSM.
Navigate to your Manage Equipment Page, and Edit a Windows Server.
Under the Custom Scripts Tab, enter the PowerShell command details.
For example:
- Retrieve the last 10 lines of an application log file every 5 minutes:
Get-Content c:/User/AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams/logs.txt | tail -10- Retrieve random Internet Cat Facts every 24 hours
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://catfact.ninja/fact' -UseBasicParsing | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'Content' | ConvertFrom-Json
To view command output, click on View Details -> Custom Scripts, for that Windows Server.
A maximum of five PowerShell commandlets may be added with minimum frequency of 5 minutes.
Password Complexity Improvements
In addition to MFA, we have added the ability to increase your users' password complexity. This functionality is also configurable under your account settings.
By default
...
every password must be:
- At
- at least eight
- 8 characters long Comprise
- must comprise alphanumeric characters, including at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number
...
Administrators have the ability to further customize password complexity by defining the minimum password length
...
which can be
...
set to a maximum
...
of 15 characters. This is managed under the entity account settings tab.
Existing users whose passwords do not meet these requirement will be made to change their password the next time they log on to VSM.
Ability to select multiple ACMs for Call Rate Report
Previously, when running the Call Rate Report it was only possible to select one ACM per location. This has been updated and it is now possible select one ore more ACMs. Each ACM is displayed on a separate page.
