New features
upKeeper .NET 6.0
upKeeper Manager is now running .net 6 across the system except for the WSUS Service. The configurable files have migrated from XML to JSON, meaning manual overlook is needed for upgrades. The .net 6 hosting bundle is needed for server components. The client installer is configured to install the runtime on setup. The SOS component is bundled with the runtime.
SOS WiFi
A new function has been added which enables users to connect to a WiFi network and change keyboard layout before continuing. If no cable network is found and wifi function is active a dialog with available wifi networks will be shown.
SOS keyboard layout
The SOS contains a button which allows the user to change keyboard layout.
upKeeper MDM serial number and user
Device information for upKeeper MDM (DuoSTATION MDM) devices now contain information about the serial number and user inside the web interface.
SOS Packages replaces Commands folder
A new type of package that will replace Commands folder has been added that will execute in the SOS context. These packages are managed via the Administration section in the Admin web, or when adding/editing a platform.
SOS Removable device support
USB devices formatted in the same structure as an SMB share can now transfer OS image, commands, packages and hardware driver from a removable medium such as an USB. Lesser internet connection is still needed for validation.

It is now possible to disable on an organizational level whether or not a client user can choose to reinstall their own computer.
Windows update tasks
Three new tasks are added which allows pausing, resuming and forcing windows update on a client.

The client inventory reports array values
The client reports potential array data as comma separated values correctly.
Updated features
Logging
In addition, the logging.config files are deprecated and now run on logging.json files. The methodology for configuring logging has changed due to switching from log4net to nlog. Normally, nlog would use XML formatting, but for the sake standardization it is configured to use JSON instead.
Reports
Handling of reports from SSRS have been updated to a more modern standard that will support new versions of Microsoft SQL for many years.
Active Directory User information
The upKeeper Client now attempts to fetch User Information from the Active Directory first. If the information does not exist, it default to use the local machine account.
