New licensing For, you must have a Dell license file (.dlv) or a Site Administrator QLL license file (*asc). Your previous licenses will not be recognized by version 9.6. The license utility that updated old licenses has been removed from the Autorun. Add alternate credentials for NAS devices Security Explorer Tools Options now has a NAS devices tab where you can set alternate credentials for network-attached storage (NAS) devices. Use alternate credentials to specify additional accounts that have administrative privileges to various NAS devices on your network. Each account in the list is tried in the order listed until an account is found with sufficient privileges. If no account is found with administrative privileges, Access Denied is displayed. Search Active Directory for users and groups The Active Directory tree is now part of the Search Scope in the Group and User Management module. You can select organizational units and containers to search the computers for local groups and users, or you can select individual computers. To search for domain users and groups, use the Network node. Use multiple wildcards when restoring In the NTFS Security module, you can use multiple wildcards when restricting the permissions to restore. Use commas to separate multiple wildcards. Use the * wildcard to match any number of characters. Use the? wildcard to match a single character. Set new advanced restore options The Advanced Restore Settings option is redesigned. To help you find and select parts of the backup file to restore, you can filter the path and the accounts. If the backup file is exceptionally large, you can filter the backup file to load only a portion of the file. You also can choose to apply the path filters to root paths only, which is useful if you have a large number of root paths in your backup file. Alternatively, you can apply the path filters to all paths except the root paths, which is useful if you have a large backup in a more complicated tree-like structure. Filtered out permissions do not display and are not restored. With the new restore mode, you can overwrite all permissions, restore permissions only for accounts from the backup file, or add permissions from the backup file to the existing permissions. In any case, the restore process skips paths for which no permissions are loaded from the backup, so those permissions remain unchanged. With the new scope mode, you can restore permissions for only the paths and subpaths that are visible and selected in the tree, or for all subpaths of the paths selected in the tree, including those that are filtered out or not selected. Search by SID When defining search criteria in the NTFS Security module, you can now include the SID. Type a full or partial SID on the Group and user search criteria tab. You can use the * wildcard to match any number of characters and the? wildcard to match a single character. The comparison is not case sensitive. Searching by SID is helpful for locating deleted accounts by pair the SID search with Search for unknown accounts. You also can pair the SID search with Include group results, Include user results, Search for permissions (DACL), and Search for owner to help you find accounts. Revoke permissions using SID history When searching for permissions to revoke, you can choose to include the SID history search. Since there may be more than one SID associated with the selected account, selecting to include the SID history search adds all existing SIDs to the List of users and groups to revoke list so that all existing permissions are revoked. Filter the display of modules You can choose to filter the list of modules that display. Select View Filters, and point to Filters to view the filter selections. You can choose All, None, or select specific modules to display. Skip subfolders and files when processing This Folder Only permissions By default, child items under the parent folder are processed when granting or deleting the This Folder Only permission. On the Tools Options Advanced tab, you can now choose to skip processing child items when granting or deleting the This Folder Only permission, which may speed up the process. Note that if you do choose to skip subfolder processing, any existing inheritance issues are not corrected automatically as part of the processing. Manage SMTP addresses for mailbox users Security Explorer provided management of SMTP addresses for contacts, mail users, and distribution groups. With version 9.6, mailbox users are also included. You can add many email addresses, but only one email address is designated as the primary address. Restore to different path in SharePoint Security module In, you now can restore permissions to a different path even if the site structures are different. Permissions are restored only for site items that are identical. Site items that do not match are ignored. Remove Remote Registry service You no longer need to start the Remote Registry service on remote servers running SQL Server to manage permissions. 2
Support automatic and manual triggered starts The Service Security module now supports automatic and manual triggered starts. Remove Security Explorer settings When uninstalling Security Explorer, you now have the option of removing the folders that contain saved settings, such as search criteria, alternate credentials, favorites, and enterprise scopes.
