exceptions
when the
user session
list was
empty.

Added: An option allowing users to remotely disconnect their previous
session as they logon to another computer. This will avoid users from having
to go back to the previous computer.
Added: A public Web interface to display system usage (per session status)
in real time, allowing users to easily find an available computer; the
interface can for example display systems available in a room (depending on
computer naming convention), ideal for organizations with free access
computers.
Added: Agent Distribution: View of the agent installation status on all
computers of the protected network zone.
User sessions: Instantaneous view of all user session at display time.
Added: Delegated administration - Certain users can be given the ability to

document: http://www.isdecisions.com/download/ULAgentVista.pdf

characters. Fixed: In some rare cases the database insertion thread was crashing while
connecting to the database.

Fixed: The protected zone was not configured correctly for domains with a
NetBIOS name different than the hostname. Symptoms: Just the server itself
was displayed in agent distribution. Fixed: The web interface configuration tool was changing the authentication
mode on the root folder of the IIS site instead of doing it directly on the
UserLock virtual folder. Fixed: A UserLock service installed on a Windows 2003 SP1 server was unable

Fixed: A bug in the communication between the web console and the UserLock
server. The user sessions list or the agent distribution list were
incomplete in some cases. Fixed: A bug in the policy. Fixed: In some rare cases if an internal exception occurred in the UserLock
service users were unable to logon (a service restart was needed to fix the
problem). Added: Ability to reboot computers through the MMC administration console

Improved: The user sessions report show up faster Fixed: UserLock was not working correctly on domains with an '@' character

registered in UserLock the session is now automatically removed.

FAQ.
