Enhancements

In our latest release, we have made the following enhancements: 

Ÿ Improved Restart and Snooze Functionality

Ÿ KACE Cloud now offers more flexibility in device restarts triggered by patch installations.  Users can snooze the restart according to rules set by the admin.

Ÿ Enhancements to Patching Rules to improve flexibility for setting the rules. The changes are as follows:

• Renamed Notification Rules to Patch Deployment Notification.
• Renamed Reboot Rules to Device Restart Notifications.

  Ÿ Users can now preview the restart notifications that Windows and macOS users get when prompted for installing updates.

   For more information refer to Configure patching rules and client notification options

  Ÿ Remote Restart for Registered Devices

  Ÿ Admins can now remotely restart Windows and macOS registered devices, similar to MDM-enrolled Windows devices.

  Ÿ Improved Patch Reporting

  Optimized Patch reporting to improve reporting efficiency, reduce load on the database, and enhance scalability for large patch datasets.

  Ÿ Support for Android 15 restrictions

  KACE Cloud now supports key Android 15 restrictions for work profiles and COPE devices, improving security and usability.

  Ÿ Google’s Support for AMAPI Devices

  KACE Cloud now allows Android Management API (AMAPI) devices to authenticate with a Google Managed account (work profile only).

  Ÿ  To integrate with AMAPI, KACE Cloud must be configured with a Google Workspace admin account. If AMAPI was not initially set up with a Google-managed account, devices must be unenrolled, and a new enterprise created, as existing enterprises cannot merge with Google Workspace. For more information refer AMAPI: Enable Google Managed Authentication

  Ÿ  The result is seamless authentication for AMAPI devices, simplified setup without recreating Google Console projects, and better device management with improved Google Workspace integration.

  Ÿ New Policy Editor

  Try the beta version of our new policy editor, which makes it easier to understand the content of the policy and easier to configure it.  Feedback is welcome!
