Performance Enhancements New Reports Updated Reports New Reporting Options New Discovery Options and Changes Enhanced Data Collection Other General Enhancements

New Discovery Options and Changes

Several discoveries have new collection options to improve the ability to fine tune the information being collected.

All Discoveries

The following new options have been added to all discoveries.

Table 10. New Discovery Options
Option	Description
Save discovery errors	A Save button has been added to the discovery errors page allowing errors to be saved in a CSV or text file.

Cloud Discoveries

The following changes are made to cloud discoveries.

Table 11. Changes to Cloud Discoveries
Option	Description
Change to workflow for creating discoveries for cloud discoveries (Azure Active Directory, Azure Resource, Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint Online).	Changed the workflow for creating cloud discoveries so you must configure the tenant app before specifying credentials. This change allows Enterprise Reporter to ensure that the credentials are authorized for the specified tenant, eliminating discovery failures due to credentials being used that are not authorized for the tenant.

After you upgrade to Enterprise Reporter 3.5, you must reconfigure the tenant app for the existing cloud discovery types with the exception of Exchange Online.

Active Directory Discovery

The following options have been added to Active Directory discoveries.

Support moving nodes between discovery clusters

When a node is selected, disabled, and stopped in the Configuration Manager, the new Change Cluster option can be used to move the node to a different cluster.

DevExpress upgrade

DevExpress has been upgraded to v19.2.5. All Enterprise Reporter library reports have been converted to use expression binding instead of standard data binding as part of this upgrade. Any report in the My Reports folder of the Report Manager will only be converted to use expression binding if the report is edited with the Report Manager.


	IMPORTANT: It is recommended to back up My Reports before editing them with Report Manager as the automatic upgrade that occurs with editing is irreversible.

Option to deploy nodes using alternate credential

When installing a node on a new computer, there is now an option to Specify an alternate credential for Node service deployment. The account must have permissions to copy files in the Admin$ share folder and to install and run services.

IT Security Search Integration

New Attribute Supported

Enterprise Reporter will now send the ComputerOwenerID object with the permission owner information sent to the IT Security Search Repository after every computer discovery.

Support suppressing the login page

When logging in to the Enterprise Reporter Configuration Manager or the Enterprise Reporter Report Manager, there is now an option to suppress the login page so that the same server and port is always used. This option can also be managed on the System Configuration page of each console.

Improved extended attribute error messages

When extending attributes, an error message is displayed for any attribute that cannot be collected. Use the error message to troubleshoot any issues with collecting the attribute before attempting to extend the attribute again.

Export log feature enhancement

You have complete visibility of the export log process. A download link is displayed on success/failure of export logs. A confirmation message is displayed if you try to cancel an export log operation.
