Thanks, we are going to hop on this and test it. Would really like to get the new version in good enough shape for our production environment.

Hi pavels,

just a short question about the version numbering. You are speaking of the console version 1.0.888.19, the installer however shows 1.0.41755 in the welcome dialogue. Which one is correct (or is BP client 1.0.888.19 and the console 1.0.41755) or are the mirrors not fully updated?

4

Arrgh, I really hate the numbering model…
avast.de is right - externally the number has been “cut” to two dots. 1.0.888.19 => 1.0.41755

5

I DL’d and applied. No issues other than a momentary “Mirror could not download…” error. THis went away after the reboot.

I’d be really curious to see an exact list of “installation issues” that were fixed with this release. I didn’t find release notes or open/closed caveat list for this package… Is there one available?

6

Could you send me the mirror.log?
thx

OK, I’ll try to list the fixed installation issues
1, [server/console] installer didn’t worked because of “broken/missing” vbscript.dll - user couldn’t continue with the installtion of SBC
2, [server/console] corrupted jscript.dll causing that users couldn’t reach the admin. console with https
3, [server/console] service didn’t start because of bug in service dependencies
4, [server/console] SBC server doesn’t listen to IP anymore but uses “network adapter” - fixed problem with SBC server changing IP address
5, [client] fixed issue with firewall driver after upgrade from AIS → BP on 64b OS
6, [client] BPP/BP client can be installed without AvastNet service (unmanaged)
7, [server/console] disable ‘require SSL’ for our IIS folder
8, [server/console]fixed small glitch in access rights
9, [server/console]use system account for SQL services on domain controller, don’t continue if SQL installation fails
10,[server/console] more precise system launch conditions better install conditions of prerequisites

It tells me to Repair or Remove.

Sorry for my stupidity

Im restoring my fileserver right now for deploying the SBC again using a remote database server.
Does this actually solve the roll-back issue using a remote db server?
if not im not going to test it

Hi wpn,

according to one of our users, it worked with the new build on a machine, where it failed before. I suggest you test it.

14

I may be missing something, but with this new release, did we lose the ability to disable the AntiSpam Shield from BPP?

I cant seem to find it where it was before. Network => Group Settings => Shields

15

Outstanding! Thanks.

16

im still getting a premature ending with rollback

maybe im overlooking something in the logs but i dont see any error indicating any error causing a rollback, so i figure its still the same problem as before with the remote database server issue

i cant upload the mirror log because of the 192K limitation of the forum.

the database is present in the database btw.

Could you try to “clear” cache of your browser? And check that your license is BPP, please (Admin > Subscription)

regards

I’ve cleared the cache and have tried multiple browsers (Firefox and Chrome) from multiple machines. But under Network => Group Settings => Shields, there is no option to disable the AntiSpam Shield as there was in the previous release of the SBC.

and the license?
