In the course of the the past year, The most prominent changes to NVC v5.3 are: NDesk - administrator tool for networks with Windows workstations E-mail, SNMP and SMS - new messaging module Enhanced NIU functionality New log file option for the on-demand scanner Furthermore, the agent (Zanda) and the scanning engine have been fine tuned and general maintenance of the product. System requirements This version supports installation of NVC v5 on , OS/2 Warp 4, OS/2 Warp Server, Workstation On-demand, and eComStation. For OS/2 we recommend Warp 4 fp 15 (or higher) and Java 1.1.8. NVC Administration Desk - NDESK NDesk is a tool for administering NVC5 network installations from a single workstation, including remote installation on the Win NT/2000/XP platform. You can distribute NVC to other machines in the network, provided that they run Windows NT/2000 or Windows XP Professional edition. NDesk can only run on a Windows NT/2000/XP machine. However, NDesk can administer and monitor Windows 9x workstations as well as NT/2000/XP. Based on the conditions above, the primary functions that NDesk offers are: NVC Remote installation on the NT/2000/XP platform Monitor NVC installations on all Windows workstations NVC Configuration management NVC Task file management Each of these functions can be performed from one of the three tabbed dialogs that are displayed when the application starts. You should refer to the Administrator's Guide for details on how you can use NDesk to install NVC to Win NT/2000/XP machines, and how you can administer configuration and task files in the network from one single point. E-mail, SMS, SNMP - new messaging module You may not have access to the network at all times, but the E-mail, SMS, SNMP module allows administrators as well as single users to be notified by e-mail or SMS messages when certain incidents occur on standalone PCs or networked machines. Note: To install this module, go to the Install tab in Installation settings in the Configuration editor. Select Additional messenger protocols at the bottom of the list and click on Save. You will have to exit and restart the Configuration Editor to be able to configure the new "E-mail, SMS, SNMP" options. The new messaging module has a number of configurable options, and is located in NVC's Configuration editor. Please refer to the Reference Guide for details. Norman Internet Update (NIU) In NVC v5.3 the client machine can use proxy authentication as implemented in Windows NT challenge/response (aka NTLM). Note that: 1. In addition to user and password (entered in the Internet tab in NVC's Configuration editor), and local hostname (fetched dynamically from Windows), NTLM needs a fourth parameter: Domain. By default, NIU will use domain = hostname. This will in most cases be sufficient. If not, you can specify domain in the new field "Domain (for Windows NT challenge/response)" field in the tabbed dialog Internet. 2. NTLM is only supported by NIU when the NTLM authentication server is in the first proxy/firewall etc. along the connection path from the NIU client to a NIU server. The NIU client may now receive some customer information from the NIU validation server associated with the authentication key: customer name, expiry date, and number of licenses. This information will be stored in NVCCF.NDF. Please refer to the Reference Guide for more details. Log file for the On-demand scanner NVC now automatically generates a log file for on-demand scans. A new tabbed dialog in the On-demand scanner module in the Configuration editor allows you to create and configure the log file (or deselect this feature). Please refer to the Reference Guide for details. Bug fixes, modifications and late changes The Readme file provides the information on these changes, http://www.norman.com/documents/Readme_nvc5.txt.
