LOGINventory Version 2025.1

Breaking Changes, Changelog, LOGINventory9Leave a comment0

New versioning: A display version has been introduced for version numbers to make it easier to read the current version. The technical version 9.9.0 corresponds to display version 2025.1. No new license is required.

Build 9.9.0.17737 (05/23/2025):

  • New Management of Items: It is now possible to create general objects in the Item table (derived from HardwareAsset). These, like peripheral devices, require a license for add-on assets. This allows items such as tables, chairs, keys, cars, chip cards, etc., to be managed in LOGINventory. More information can be found in this blog post.
  • New Mail Sending: Support for OAuth2.0 for Online Exchange Server. SMTP support for Online Exchange Server will be discontinued in mid-2025. It is recommended to switch to OAuth2.0 now!
  • Portable Version:
    • New New Self-Update Mechanism: When the portable version is released, a “LOGINventory-Portable.exe” is now always included in the directory. Using this executable significantly improves startup speed and includes a self-update mechanism. More details can be found in the manual.
    • New Breaking Change Remote Scanner Available: Users with the “Administrator” role can now control the remote scanner on the server from the portable version as well.
  • New Web interface now uses logo and corporate style colors stored in the settings, if the corresponding checkbox is enabled.
  • Custom Properties:
    • New A third option is now available to determine who can edit properties. Previously, it had to be specified whether these could be edited by the scanner or by the user in the interface. With the new “All” option, custom properties can now be edited by both the scanner and the user. For example, the “Location” of a device can be pre-filled during the first scan. If the device is handed over to a location that cannot be automatically scanned, the “Location” can now still be changed by the user.
    • New In the “Category” field, specifying #<CUSTOMTYPE> ensures that a custom property is only visible in the widget if it matches the custom type of the asset. For example, for assets with CustomType = Headset, only properties with Category = #Headset are displayed.
  • New High DPI Support: On displays with more than 96 dpi (e.g., when screen zoom is enabled), text rendering is no longer just enlarged and blurred but natively displayed in a higher font size.
  • Breaking Change Change History for AD Data: The entry behavior for AD data has been changed so that not only new records are added, but, for example, for groups, it is now visible in the history which users are no longer members.
    Note: The change history for the entities AdGroup, UserAccount & ComputerAccount must be activated in the settings if necessary!
    There is also a new data cleanup option that deletes AD data not included in more recent AD scans. This cleanup is not activated by the update and must (if desired) be enabled in the settings. More details on this topic can be found here in the KB article.
  • Breaking Change Linked Documents: When adding documents from the same storage location as an already added document, the existing one is no longer overwritten, but a new one is always added. A new option to replace a previously stored document is now available. Read More

Build 17192 (12.12.2024):

  • New Azure AD: The last login date (interactive and non-interactive) is now retrieved for users.
    NOTE: This requires extending the App Registration permission in Azure according to this chapter in the manual (to grant access to the AuditLog):
    Tip: This allows you to analyze which users have a Microsoft365 license assigned but haven’t logged in for a long time. See the “Interesting” folder:
  • Web Viewer: Asset Details Page:
    • New Viewing and reactivating archived assets is now possible.
    • New Significant performance improvements.
  • License Management:
    • New New Price Calculator for easier price entry (including VAT and gross/net options in the settings).

    • New versions of Office, Visio, Windows Server included. Read More

LOGINventory Version 9.7.0

ChangelogLeave a comment0
Build 16769 (31.07.2024):

  • New Reading out docking station information: Model, serial number, and firmware of the connected docking station can now be read out on Windows laptops. Please refer to the instructions in the manual to find out which drivers need to be installed on the laptop!
  • New Docking station information and hard disk information can be used to directly create peripheral devices in LOGINventory (analogous to monitor information).
  • New New entity “Firewall”: For the three firewall profiles “Public”, “Private” and “Domain”, it is determined for Windows devices whether the firewall is activated or deactivated in each case.
  • New For assets created manually / imported via csv import, the serial number is used as the identification criterion (sole fingerprint feature). This means that an asset can already be created in LOGINventory for devices that are still in the inflow (“pre-staging“). If a device with the same serial number is then recognized during a later scan, the information is merged – it is no longer necessary to change the name of the asset before the first entry. More information on this in the manual.
  • New License Management:
    • Compound products: Combining several products with any metric into a “compound product”.
    • Separate dialog for storing licenses without having to define corresponding products beforehand.
  • New More values read from virtual machines (VM guests) during VMware / Hyper-V scan:
    • HWVersion
    • Tags (VMware only)
    • Generation (Hyper-V only)
    • ToolsVersion (VMware only)
    • DnsHostname of VM (VMware only)
  • New New setting to prevent users with the “Guest” role from double-clicking on assets to view the details. This allows you to specify that guests can only access the data that is part of the query that has been shared with the user.
    To activate this setting, the following part must be added to the LOGINventory.config file (located at C:\ProgramData\Login\LOGINventory\9.0):

    <setting name="HideDetailsForGuests">
        <value>true</value>
</setting>
