LOGINventory Version 2025.1

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.
• New Tasks and Notifications: Sending/saving XLSX files (for Excel) is now possible.
• New New Report: QR Codes 25×54 HardwareAsset for use with items, peripheral devices, and scanned devices.

Acquisition:

• SSH acquisition of Linux devices: When using a key file, not only the OpenSSH format but now also the ppk format from Putty is supported.
• Linux acquisition:
  • Installed software packages are now listed for Oracle Linux.
  • Improvements in determining disk size (DriveInfo.Size).
  • Improved detection of UUID2.
• Improved determination of Name and DnsHostName for Windows devices in EntraID environments without Active Directory.
• AD capture: Frequently used built-in group names (e.g., “Administrators”) are now always read in English and no longer in the language in which the domain controller was installed. This behavior can be disabled using the parameter /localizedprincipalnames.
• Local user accounts on Windows PCs: “PasswordLastSet” is now reliably determined again.

Evaluations:

• Queries: Sorting, column width, and groupings are now saved directly in the queries. This allows the task service to consider the specified sorting, etc., when sending emails or automatically saving documents. For this to apply to existing queries, the query editor may need to be opened and closed with “OK” once.
• Dynamic document: When adding a data source from an existing query, the filter condition of the query is reliably adopted again.
• Provided queries for SQL Server Express Edition and Developer Edition: Filter conditions corrected.
• Query editor: Stability improvements for queries with sum functions.

Web UI & Web API:

• Web console adopts default filters, for example, for dynamic device lists to display software package installations.
• Asset detail page (Web): Read access for guests can be set in the settings.
• Improved behavior when publishing the web viewer with application names deviating from the standard.
• Node properties: Links to the Web API now contain version-specific links (no more rewrite links).
• Web API: By default, responses are streamed as “ChunkedMessage.” This behavior can now be disabled using the parameter DisableChunkedWebApiResponse in the LOGINventory.config.

Installation & Database:

• Remote scanner-only installation works flawlessly even with large setups (including DB).
• Offline Agent Version 9.3 available.
• AD cleanup of groups: Reliability improved.
• New stored procedures in the SQL database to address issues when the ordinal number in tables becomes too large.
• Calculation of effective permissions on shared folders: Fixed an issue that caused problems with very long usernames.

Settings:

• Corporate style logos: Improved usage in dynamic documents: Specifying dimensions in the settings is no longer necessary; the logo is automatically scaled to the appropriate size.
• Settings: Improved behavior when saving changes.

Miscellaneous:

• Warranty query for Lenovo: Adjusted to the new website structure so that automated queries work again.
• CSV import: Archived assets are automatically reactivated by data import – no error occurs when reading.
• Node sharing for users whose SID has been deleted from the AD no longer causes error messages when opening node properties.
• License management: Stability and performance improvements for slow database connections (e.g., VPN).

Build 9.9.0.17757 (05/26/2025):

• Adjustment in the update check to use the display version of version numbers.
