XPU
48 Release Information
|
Introduction
|
This Assuria Bulletin announces the availability of XPU 48, which
introduces new features to Assuria Auditor.
This XPU is fully
compatible with the Assuria Auditor and ISS System Scanner range of
products, and is managed by the Assuria Auditor Console (formerly ISS
System Scanner Console).
|
Transition to Assuria
|
Assuria Limited has licensed the System Scanner technology from ISS and
now provides globally all customer support and sales of System Scanner
technology.
Assuria and ISS have been working closely together on a 12 - 18 month
program to seamlessly transition ISS System Scanner customers to Assuria
and Assuria Auditor.
XPU
48 introduces the first feature that is a result of the transition
program. Assuria will be generating Licence keys for customers in the
near future and this XPU 48 introduces support for Assuria generated
keys in addition to keys generated by Assuria or ISS using the ISS
system. |

New Readme viewer and enhanced readme file. |
This XPU introduces an enhanced readme viewer within the Assuria Auditor
Console. The Update readme will in future be published using HTML and

Assuria License Keys |
An
Assuria Auditor Console must be updated to X-Press Update level 48 to
accept Assuria License Keys. Users do not need to take any special
action at this time. At renewal of maintenance Assuria generated keys
will be provided. System Scanner / Assuria Auditor will continue to
support all current ISS keys.

|
New or Renamed Agent Notification – Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 agents |
Some customers often add new, or rename existing agents on their
network. This new feature adds functionality so that when a new or
renamed agent is detected the Agent component of the security tree in
the Assuria Auditor Console is now highlighted.
To
configure an agent select Maintenance, New and Renamed agents from the
Assuria Auditor Console ‘Maintenance’ menu.
Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 agents now report to the console if the
host is renamed.
|
|
XPU Integrity |
This new Policy allows security administrators to ensure that all
updates have been applied to their Windows 2000 and 2003 agents
correctly. All updated files are scanned against their actual and
expected file size and CRC checksum to ensure that they are the correct
versions. Any incorrect files are highlighted in the accompanying
report.

use this new Policy:
1.

2.
