Is the Dutch language also for the service desk?
Can we create a CNAME for the url off the service desk so it has your own url?

Hi Elif

Great so this means I can change the current url https://easy2begin.servicedesk.comodo.com/

And is the https://easy2begin.servicedesk.comodo.com/ home page also translated with the new release?

Rob

What is the ETA on re-establishment? Estimate of time that it would be out of maintenance mode was 30 minutes and here we are 2.5 hours later still in maintenance.

Hello @ptomis ,

Deployment has been finished but post production testing is still in progress.

Best Regards,
Product Management Team

@zeynepyildirim thanks for the update, will you please respond back here when everything is back up and ready to go?

Hello everyone!

We are happy to announce that post-deployment tests are completed. You can safely enjoy the new features coming with the December release.

Looking forward to hear your feedbacks!

Product Management Team

How’s everyone finding the December Windows releases of CCS and the Communications agent? Are they working reliably?

Hi @nct

We are so far testing CCS 11.7.0.7899 only on four computers while keeping the previous CCC 6.31.31559.19102. Mind that we are using neither the Containment or the HIPS features. In this very limited testing environment, we have not had any issue so far.

Hope this will be helpful.

@DevoteamEndpointSecu , you really should be using containment, it is the big selling point of Comodo Client Security,

Hi @nct

Well, let’s say that we have no technical reasons for not using it… and that’s all I can say without breaking my NDA. :stuck_out_tongue:

Have a nice day!

Thanks for the information, liteblue there are some really interesting new features. I’m eager to start testing the new client versions. :slight_smile:
