ManageEngine DDI Central | Read me
4002- May 06, 2024
New Features & Enhancements:
- Users can directly configure static subnets, manually assign IP addresses, import and manage static leases from spreadsheets, ensuring consistent network addresses for essential services and devices.
- Migrate all the zones hosted with third-party managed DNS providers to DDI Central and manage them directly from DDI Central UI without switching between different points of management.
- Create scheduled configurations and reports for DNS resource records and DHCP scopes. Download past report versions available for comparison and analysis to bolster change management and support compliance.
- Delete DHCP leases via the DDI Central console, preventing lease reassignment and ensuring new leases for users. This improves control over address distribution and increases management flexibility as needed.
- PXE boot configuration can now be configured quickly through user-friendly templates and imported into the relevant client class.
- DDI Central now mandates that users set up an A or AAAA record for nameservers matching their domain names before usage. For example, configuring 'clouddns.com' with 'ns1.clouddns.com' requires creating an authoritative record for 'ns1.clouddns.com' first.
- Refresh the DNS cache of a selected server or a specific zone on the server to ensure your DNS information is up-to-date.
- Automate email notifications to admins identifying the hosts attempting to access domains that have been blocked for monitoring and reacting to potential security breaches or policy violations.
- Node Agent installed on all DNS and DHCP servers now supports admin-controlled password resets for enhanced security, replacing the previous automatic reset system. This update allows admins to intervene directly in case of suspected breaches.
- Admins can now choose and update the network port used by the Node Agent, providing flexibility and facilitating compliance with internal networking policies and external regulations.
