Hi @Ilker info looks great, thanks for that.

Re:

  • Comodo Remote Control now supports special key combinations like CTRL+ALT+DEL, ALT+F4, CTRL+C. You can smoothly use CRC on all your endpoints
Does this mean that we can use CRC to control MacOS endpoints? Or is this still limited to Windows for the minute?

thanks

Hi, can we get rid of the “default Group” in RMM? or the ability to rename?

Hi @dittoit ,

We would like to clarify if that group that you want to remove is the default group from the device list in ITSM?

This “BETA” has been applied to our live system meaning we have lost over 10000 closed tickets and about 50 live tickets bringing our business to its knees again.
I thought the idea was to have the BETA so we can test, use and make sure all is good before rolling it to live???

Our company is once again a sitting duck that is blind due to bad planning and testing again; and not even before we have recovered from the last issue like this!
When are we going to learn, and actually work on some stability instead of rushing out new features that have not been tested fully?

Sorry for the rant, but if this continues we will have to start looking else where as the idea of our move was to integrate AV with helpdesk and monitoring etc; but currently not one side of the platform works including the AV meaning me and my customers are wasting money and time.

Hello @StrobeTech,

We know this is an urgent matter that needs to be addressed immediately. Our development team is thoroughly working on this matter and we have requested details and ETA for us to keep you updated on the associated ticket. Thank you

Possibly looks like all is back up but have not been told as much.
So what is the point of the BETA program if your still going to use the live platform as the BETA?

Hello @StrobeTech,

Please check the SD, we have a confirmation that the issue has been resolved. Thank you

Hi @StrobeTech

Actually the error message you saw on SD was misdirecting. There was an outage on SD an it is fixed now. We are now investigating to prevent repetition of the problem and prevent that kind of misdirecting error messages.

New features are not deployed to production environment; the deployment will be done on Saturday as planned. But you can try our new features on https://demo.one.comodo.com/

@Ilker When is the next release going to be coming? I was under the impression it was a 4 week release schedule. If thats right then we should have seen the preview notes by now.
