NetSupport DNA v3 New Features

	NEW Change PC Owner When DNA connects to a Client PC for the first time it will automatically ‘bind’ the logged on user as the PC Owner. A new ‘Bind Users’ dialog allows you to manually change the PC Owner details if this is not the permanent ‘owner’.
	ENHANCED User Interface The NetSupport DNA User Interface has been totally refreshed for version 3. Included among the changes is the introduction of separate PC and User tree views, making it easier to distinguish between the physical asset and items associated with the user (such as Internet and Application usage), as well as a completely new navigation bar and dynamic component "action panels".
	NEW Console Roles Access rights for Console Operators are now controlled by defined profiles or ‘Roles’. Once created the Role can be assigned to multiple operators. Roles can be linked to a Windows Group and are relevant when Active Directory is being used.
	NEW Communication Gateway The introduction of NetSupport’s Gateway technology provides a stable and secure method for locating and connecting to Clients on Remote Networks securely via the Internet. Multiple remote locations can communicate data back to a central location with the use of the included Client and Server gateway components.
	NEW Energy Monitor Aimed at helping organisations reduce their carbon footprint, meet internal energy saving targets and reduce operational costs, the new Energy Monitor component tracks all powered-on systems across the enterprise, highlighting their energy consumption and associated costs. Working day hours can be defined making it easy to identify out of hours wastage.
	NEW Active Directory Integration Full Active Directory Integration is provided in v3. The NetSupport DNA tree view can now mirror your Active Directory structure. Support has been provided to enable membership of AD groups to control logon/access rights to the DNA Console.
	ENHANCED Software Inventory The newly introduced ‘Installed Programs’ option mirrors the add/remove programs structure of your Client machines, detailing the license levels for the displayed applications. NetSupport DNA now features three level software inventory : Software Programs (eg MS Office), Software Applications (eg MS Word) and Software Resources (eg Letter.doc)
	ENHANCED License Administration The process for assigning license information to a PC’s asset data has been refined. New ‘Leasing Administration’ and ‘Maintenance Administration’ dialogs have been added enabling operators to quickly assign licenses to any number of PCs.
	ENHANCED Internet Metering Support for Sub-Url’s added allowing you to restrict both complete and specific pages within a website.
	ENHANCED Additional Hardware Peripheral Hardware items such as PDAs or Mobile phones can now be assigned to multiple machines simultaneously extending NetSupport DNA's use as a central reporting point for technology assets.
	ENHANCED Database Query Tool The NetSupport DNA Query tool is a unique utility that allows an operator to produce custom reports and data views based on all database fields. This has been extended to include totalling functions for values such as time and costs.
