Very Important information:

With CapaInstaller 6.2 the CapaInstaller Windows Agents are built on .NET Framework 4.6 (Default in Windows 10) and .NET Framework 3.5 - if you have windows computers in your environment etc. Windows 7 without 4.6 installed you must wait with this upgrade until you have upgraded all computers.

If .NET Framework 4.6 is installed, you can continue.

New Features in CapaInstaller 6.2 - 2021

OS Deployment

With OS Deployment Templates, it’s possible to pre-stage configurations for OS Deployments. When computers have been pre-staged, all information about the computer’s reinstallation is pre-configured. Hence, none of the information needs to be handled by people initiating reinstallations, including the end-users.

This gives an easier way to create the right OS configuration for the end-users and control the rollout of the new OS Configurations.

The Templates are configured in CapaOne, so it’s a pre-requirement to have internet access to api.capaone.com.

See more information: Deployment Template.

 

 

Management Portal

It’s now possible to ReInstall computers from the Management Portal when using OSD Templates.

 

When using OSD Templates, the end-users can initiate reinstallation by themself, with no worries from administrators about users selecting wrong installation parameters.

This is very useful for the end-user because they can plan their own day and initiate the reinstallation when it “fits” into their calendar and not when the IT department has the time .

 

The end-user can get information about their own computer from the management portal. This information can also be used by support to get information about software installation etc.

 

Mobile Device Management

iOS Update Command, it’s possible to initiate new iOS updates from CapaInstaller.

The iOS updates have two modes.

  • Download the update for the user (force download of the update to the users and make iOS announce the update for the user, this will not force a reboot)

  • Download and install update (force download and update of the update to the user, this will force a reboot)
