vSphere: Running VMs without active VMware Tools now get the status “Running” instead of “Stopped” during discovery. The status now comes from the VM’s power state rather than from the state reported by VMware Tools.
LIA (AI Assistant): Searching the documentation and the data model now also works when the Management Center is started via a UNC path, e.g. the portable version directly from a network share.
License management: As long as no products have been created, the node shows the information page instead of an empty data view.
Build 9.11.4.21251 (Published October 5, 2026):
NewAnalyze shares: In Settings, under User roles, there is a new overview of all roles assigned on nodes.
It shows which users and groups have which role on which nodes. Conversely, you can see which accounts are entered on a node.
All stored accounts are checked against Active Directory. Disabled, expired, deleted, or unresolvable accounts are highlighted in color. Groups can be resolved into their members.
Shares can be edited for multiple nodes at once: remove accounts from all nodes, replace them with another account, or change the role of selected assignments.
The overview can be exported as a CSV file.
Breaking ChangeRole inheritance for shares on nodes:
On a node, the role of the nearest share now applies. The search runs upward from the node. The first share with an explicitly set role for the user or one of their groups determines the role.
Previously, the highest role the user had on the node or on any node above it applied. A share on a subnode could therefore only extend the role.
Now a share on a subnode can also restrict the inherited role. If a subnode has a lower role than a node further up, the lower role applies there as of this version.
If a user is entered on the same node through several groups, the highest of these roles applies. Global administrators are never restricted by shares.
The role evaluation is now reliable even when disabled or unresolvable accounts are entered on parent nodes.
After the update, please review your shares, most easily with the new function Analyze shares. Details in the documentation chapter Authorization concept.
Failed logon attempts and user list:
Failed logon attempts using an account name that does not exist are no longer recorded as a user logon (UserLogon). This applies, for example, to typos or a password accidentally entered in the user field (event 4625 with SubStatus 0xC0000064). Such names therefore no longer end up in the user list either. Instead, these attempts are counted per device in the events (Events) under event ID 4625.
Data maintenance “Orphaned user data”: Users known only from failed logon attempts are removed together with those attempts. This also cleans up such entries from earlier discovery runs. Local accounts found when scanning a device are kept.
New switch//UserLogonEntries: It sets how many of the newest user logons are read from the event log per discovery (default: 250).
Web Viewer: Several selection lists now offer only relevant people. This applies to Hand Out / Return, the user search, the Asset Editor, and the Owner property. The lists offer user accounts (Active Directory, Entra ID, or created manually), owners of non-archived devices, and people from lifecycle entries. Local accounts and service accounts no longer appear there (e.g. in the handover process for devices).
Exchange Server:
Discovery of large on-prem environments is significantly faster and more reliable.
Discoveries run with /Debug or /Test no longer occasionally end with exit code 20499 even though the discovery was successful.
Linux / macOS discovery:
NewVM guests on KVM/libvirt hosts: Discovery of virtual machines now works not only on Proxmox, but on all KVM hosts with virsh (e.g. Ubuntu with libvirt). Among other things, the following are collected:
Name, UUID, and status
CPU topology and RAM
MAC and IP address
Number of snapshots
the guest’s operating system (via the qemu Guest Agent)
Offline Agent: The inv files are again uploaded via Basic Authentication by cron (Linux) or launchd (macOS), as described in the documentation. As a result, error 401 no longer occurs when IIS also offers Negotiate. Basic Authentication must be enabled in IIS for the upload.
Usernames in user logons (UserLogon) and device usage (DeviceUsage) are no longer truncated to 8 characters.
SNMP:
Devices that actively reject SNMPv2c instead of not responding (e.g. a few UPS models) are now discovered automatically via SNMPv1.
Switches: The speed of ports of 10 Gbit/s and higher and of LAGs is now detected correctly.
Switches: TeamInterfaceIndex stays empty instead of 0 for ports without link aggregation. As a result, these ports are no longer counted as trunk members. Existing values are updated the next time the switch is discovered.
LIA (AI Assistant): AI-assisted query creation now also works when the Management Center in the portable version is started from a read-only network share.
Portable version: Users without administrator rights (e.g. on terminal servers or under Citrix) no longer get a UAC credentials prompt at startup. The ngen optimization is only attempted if the user has local administrator rights.
NewWindows remote scan now also via WinRM for hardened environments where DCOM/RPC (port 135 and the dynamic range) or SMB (port 445) are blocked, or NTLM is disallowed.
New switch //UseWinRM with four levels: automatic (default, unchanged DCOM), WinRM preferred with DCOM fallback, strict WinRM without any DCOM, RPC, or SMB attempt, and strict DCOM.
WMI and registry queries run in WinRM mode via the MI interface; the remote scan without an SMB share runs directly via the WinRM shell. For this, LOGINfo.exe is placed in a protected directory on the target device and is only transferred again when a new version is available.
HTTPS is supported: //WinRmUseHttps 1 connects via port 5986, //WinRmPort allows a different port, //WinRmSkipCertCheck disables certificate validation if needed.
Requires an active WinRM listener on the target device (port 5985 or 5986), enabled by default only on Windows Servers. Full details in the new documentation chapter Remote scan with WinRM
Nothing changes for existing installations: without the new switches, the previous DCOM method still applies.
Breaking ChangeLastInventory.Method:
For Windows devices, new values are now reported: instead of, for example, “RPC (Kerberos)”, it’s now “DCOM (Kerberos)”. Custom queries and filters that check for the previous values must be adjusted. Details in the new documentation chapter Discovery method of an asset.
NewLinux / macOS discovery: Significant expansion of scope of the values collected:
New entities (analogous to Windows discovery): services (ServiceInfo), Bios, Mainboard, scheduled tasks (ScheduledTask), Bootlog, user logons (UserLogon), user sessions (UserSession), network connections (NetworkConnection), Firewall, partition encryption (PartitionEncryption), batteries (BatteryInfo), TrustedPlatformModule.
Aligning the feature set of the Offline Agent with the remote scan (previously missing: local user accounts, local security groups, shares, and routing tables).
LastInventory.Method: Different values for the type of discovery: “Local”, “OfflineAgent”, “SSH (Key)”, “SSH (Password)”.
Encryption of inv files also for the Offline Agent.
If an inv file could not be transferred, the Offline Agent now stores it under /var/spool/loginfox and transfers it along with the next run.
Improved error handling if no valid OfflineAgent.config is present during installation.
Fundamental changes to self-update behavior (detection of when a new update is available; how often installation is attempted; more extensive logging; prevention of unwanted restarts; use of a dedicated “Updater” folder; use of the account stored in the configuration)
Writing LastInventory.Method = OfflineAgent, to distinguish whether LOGINfo.exe was run locally (e.g. via a logon script) or as part of the Offline Agent.
macOS Offline Agent:
Dark mode support in the setup.
Setup now removes the previous version when “installing over” it.
Notarization of the setup.
Improved startup performance for the LOGINventory Management Center and the portable version: ngen optimizations now run after setup, or after the first launch (portable version), and should reduce startup time from the following launch onward.
Consolidation of the LastInventory and InventoryInfo fields:
LastInventory.Agent now only contains the version number.
For Windows devices, LastInventory.Method now contains information on whether discovery was performed via NTLM or Kerberos (in the case of Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)).
LastInventory.Method no longer shows “WinReg” but “Scan (No WMI”), if the scan ran without WMI (e.g. because the firewall blocked it).
InventoryInfo.Mode is no longer written; the relevant information is now found in InventoryInfo.Method.
Windows scan:
A failure to retrieve whether there are pending Windows updates (OperatingSystem.UpdatesPending) no longer causes the entire discovery to fail. Instead, this issue is logged in the debug log and the scan continues.
The BlockNTLM switch now also forces Kerberos when establishing the WMI connection (not just for subsequent queries). This means discovery still delivers WMI data in environments where incoming NTLM is fully blocked via group policy (“Network security: Restrict NTLM: Incoming NTLM traffic = Deny all accounts”). More details in this KB article.
Dark mode and gray mode: Adjusted the display of the information (HTML) pages
Documentation: Language switcher, automatic dark mode detection, and search improvements.
Dashboards:
Using custom properties behind 1:1 navigations in the editor now possible.
Only entities reachable from the base table are shown when editing dashboards.
Exchange Server: Improved version detection for Server SE and various CUs.
Linux / macOS scan: Instead of maintaining all customizations in a single custom.xml, these can now also be split across several files. To do this, any number of XML files can be placed in the /opt/loginfox/custom/ folder (e.g. custom2.xml, software.xml, …). All *.xml files in this folder are automatically read in addition to custom.xml and processed in alphabetical order.
Web Interface: Installing an update no longer resets authentication to the default.
Detection of Bios.Mode improved: More reliable detection of UEFI BIOS.
Stability improvements when running LOGINfo.exe locally without WMI. Cluster IP detection before scanning Windows machines improved.
Web Viewer:
Signatures on lifecycle entries readable again in dark mode.
Photos stored on assets visible again in dark mode.
Custom properties: Presets are respected again when editing.
New option to clear custom properties for which presets are defined.
Dashboards in the web always respect filters applied at a higher level in the tree structure.
License management:
The automatic nightly calculation no longer shows an error when there are no products in license management.
Detected products for cloud subscriptions were filtered only by SKU ID, not by tenant ID, so consumer detection was incorrect (occurred with the current script for reading out JetBrains licenses).
Deleting licenses from queries now possible (no longer only from the product or in the license assignment dialog).
Favorites in the tree structure:
Filter conditions from queries higher up are respected.
Only queries and folders can now be added as favorites.
REST API: select statements on the ID now possible.
Tasks: The “Test” button when configuring the email to be sent now works correctly again with OAuth.
SNMP v3: Fix for using the AES-192 protocol.
Creating the portable version: Unneeded files are no longer copied into the portable version’s directory.
Event viewer: Truncate is no longer logged as a warning, log level reduced to verbose.
Improved error handling if no valid OfflineAgent.config is present during installation.
Fundamental changes to self-update behavior (detection of when a new update is available; how often installation is attempted; more extensive logging; prevention of unwanted restarts; use of a dedicated “Updater” folder; use of the account stored in the configuration)
Writing LastInventory.Method = OfflineAgent, to distinguish whether LOGINfo.exe was run locally (e.g. via a logon script) or as part of the Offline Agent.
NewFavorites: A right-click now makes it possible to mark nodes as favorites in the tree structure. They then appear at the very top of the tree under “Favorites”.
LIA (AI Assistant):
Option to disable LIA.
Updated internal knowledge to the current documentation version plus KB articles and blog posts.
NewAI integration: Using the new LIA chat assistant (available via the web interface and in the LOGINventory Management Center), you can ask questions about your LOGINventory database through a chat (e.g. “Show me my Windows 11 devices!“, “Which Windows devices don’t have 7-Zip installed?“, “Which devices belong to John Doe?“) as well as about the documentation (e.g. “How do I publish the Web Viewer?“, “How do I retrieve warranty data?“). The chat can also be used to set properties and lifecycle entries on assets, archive or delete devices, and create queries. More information on the new AI integration here.
NewWeb interface facelift and feature enhancements:
Asset detail page: MAC address table for switches now viewable.
In the Web Viewer, dashboards are no longer visible only as their own nodes, but also when pinned as the view for a folder.
Tip: Pinning a dashboard to the Asset Management node displays it directly when the web console is opened (instead of an empty folder view).
New option to generate dashboard links (without displaying the tree structure), ideal for sharing with other people (provided they have been granted permission to view the dashboard).
Dark mode available.
When creating lifecycle entries (including issue / return), you can now create a new user, e.g. when issuing a device to a person without an AD account.
NeuNegotiate / Kerberos Support: Bei der Inventarisierung von Windows-Geräten wird jetzt nicht mehr nur NTLM, sondern auch Kerberos verwendet. Standardmäßig wird weiterhin die NTLM-Authentifizierung versucht, scheitert diese, gibt es einen Fallback zu Kerberos. Über die neuen Kommandozeilenparameter //Authentication Kerberos und //Authentication NTLM lässt sich auch die Verwendung einer anderen Methode ohne Fallback erzwingen.
Offline Agent: Version 9.5: Verbessertes Verhalten beim Selfupdate: Verhindern von automatischen Reboots. Achtung: Diese Änderung gilt erst für künftige Updates (z.B. auf Offline Agent Version 9.6).
Portable Version: Verbesserungen bei der Ermittlung der zu kopierenden Pfade: Zuverlässigkeit beim Zugriff via Kommandozeile erhöht.
Eigene Eigenschaften: In der Verwaltungsoberfläche der Eigenen Eigenschaften ist das Hinzufügen-Symbol jetzt immer sichtbar.
Datenansicht: Löschen und Archivieren von Assets führt nicht mehr dazu, dass die aktuelle Tabellen-Ansicht nach oben springt – der Scroll-Fortschritt bleibt erhalten.
Verbessertes Verhalten beim Selfupdate: Verhindern von automatischen Reboots. Achtung: Diese Änderung gilt erst für künftige Updates (z.B. auf Offline Agent Version 9.6).
Tasks: Emails mit HTML-Tabelle erhalten jetzt wieder Spaltenüberschriften.
Änderungshistorie: Spalten sind nicht mehr standardmäßig ausgeblendet (Fehler bei den Layout-Behandlung).
Hinzufügen von Spalten in Abfragen führt nicht mehr dazu, dass diese ausgeblendet hinzugefügt werden (Fehler bei der Layout-Behandlung).
Web-Viewer: Unterschriftenfeld fügt bei engen Unterschriften keine nicht gezeichneten Linien mehr hinzu.
Verwendung des v143 Toolset für VC++ Projekte (Build von LOGINfo auf neuerem OS).
