MSP Manager Update – Monitoring M365 mailbox monitoring, Hour Retainer

Posted on August 6, 2020 by

We are excited to release our M365 mailbox monitoring via the Graph API.  This supports monitoring for M365 mailboxes with multi-factor authentication enabled and is event driven for real-time ticket generation.

We will begin deployment of this feature today, and complete rollout by August 14, 2020.

Setup is easy!  First configure your M365 integration, then add the appropriate mailbox(es) to be monitored.  This feature is gated by permissions, so if you don’t see the integration, please review your roles and permissions.

For additional details about the feature and configuration, please review our support documentation on the subject: http://documentation.solarwindsmsp.com/MSPM/documentation/en/Content/MSP-M365-configuration.htm

Based on high demand, the hour retainer service item has been updated to specify the number of hours as the retainer, rather than the retainer $ amount.

The following issues were solved with this release:

  • Workflow not adding contact info to ticket
  • Workflow issue type/sub-type are mixed up
  • Asset class name is not propagated from service plan
  • Queue list may not load
  • Notes are required when saving a password in Knowledge
  • Customer email domain field validation not displaying when there is an error
  • Base64 encoded email attachments displaying incorrectly
  • Completed dates not displayed for tickets completed by workflow rules
  • Workflow created tickets not sending user notifications
  • SLA policies not getting created
  • Ticket list does not display any tickets when filtering custom statuses

SolarWinds Passportal: Weekly Service Update 2020.7.30

Posted on July 31, 2020 by

Customer Bugs

FIXED: SolarWinds RMM -> ‘Launch RMM’ button mapped to incorrect URL: Problem for some of our SolarWinds RMM partners in which hitting the “Launch RMM” button redirects them to the incorrect location of their SolarWinds RMM.

FIXED: Incorrect redirection when accessing Runbooks download link: When our MSP partners have branded their company portal URL and generate a Runbook, the Runbook automatically generated download link leads to an unbranded Passportal URL.

ex. MSP Oilers have branded their Passportal URL to mspoilers.mypasswordapp.net. Their Runbook download link should automatically point to: https://mspoilers.mypasswordapp.net/export/runbooks/download/XXX

Instead of what it was automatically pointing to: https://XX-clover.passportalmsp.com/export/runbooks/download/XXX

FIXED: Jumbled appearance of longer MSP names when generating Runbook: When our MSP partners have a longer company name. The name appears bunched together when generating a Runbook for their clients.

FIXED: PDF generation of “Passwords Known by User” report cutting off usernames: Problem with longer usernames and/or descriptions being cut off on the “Passwords Known by User” report when it is generated to PDF

FIXED: Passwords showing as password hash after password move: Partner reported issue of moving credential from their Company Vault to Clients resulted in the password changing to random set of characters with no history of change.

FIXED: Automated Workflows not firing on Document and License Expiration: Problem with Automated Workflows around workflows set to monitor Document and License expiration’s. The workflow was failing to run at the days set for the expiration warning

FIXED: Custom Custom Docs templates failing to generate in Runbook: Issue revolving around the creation of a new Custom Docs template, using the template, and then generating a Runbook resulted in it missing that template

FIXED: Main Dashboard – Asset/License Expiry Graph producing no results: Clicking on the graph will display the correct results now

FIXED: Articles not sorting alphabetically when required

FIXED: Article image corruption: Issue around uploading an image and then editing the properties to populate the Alternative Name Text field leading to image corruption when Article saved

SolarWinds Take Control: A Vastly Improved Command Prompt Environment – Coming Soon!

Posted on July 27, 2020 by

Partner success and satisfaction remain key drivers for SolarWinds Take Control, and so too does innovation; the ability to approach market problems and devise new ways to tackle them.  

In this release, we are introducing such an innovation: the new Take Control Command prompt: 

Take control has always offered a Windows Command line and PowerShell (PS) interface that allowed our partners to remotely get to the heart of a system. In this new release, we’re delighted to debut an exciting revision to this feature — our real time command line environment. 

In this release, the new Command Line feature looks and feels exactly like the real thing: 

In both the CMD or PS environments, the new interface brings a raft of features which you’d only expect to find in a native prompt environment —  tools and capabilities such as, command history, tab-to-autocomplete, copy/paste, control-commands (CTRL/C to stop a ping, etc.) command shell colors, and much more. In most cases, using this new tool is almost as good being on the native command line of the machine you are connected to.  

Launching the new prompt environment is simple. When you’re remotely connected,  navigate to your System Shell, select the ellipses, and select your interactive command environment:  

Note: As this is our first (Beta) release of this new feature, we’re only making this available to Standalone Take Control and Take Control Plus. As we iterate and incorporate partner feedback, we’ll work to introduce this to our integrated Take Control versions on SolarWinds N-central and RMM.  

Summary for release
– new Standalone Windows Console & Agent
– Version 7.00.18

Agent 7.00.18
FEATURE: Integrated real-time CMD Environment for Windows
FEATURE: Intergrated real-time PS Environment for Windows

SolarWinds RMM: Patch Management Policy Permissions for Co-Managed IT

Posted on July 27, 2020 by

We’re pleased to let you know that we have released the next update to help you share day to day administrative duties with in-house IT staff, for example in a co-managed IT setup with your customers. Following the recent update to give customer users restricted access to Managed Antivirus policies, we’ve now enabled the same option for Patch Management policies. It means you have a way to specify which Patch Management policies a particular user can see, and which are hidden from them.

To use this feature, go to Settings > Users > Client Groups, select a Client Group then click ‘Manage policy access’… for additional details on how to set this up for a client user, see this previous post. Continue reading →
