FileWave Version 14.10.2

FileWave Management Suite

The FileWave endpoint management suite allows you to manage your devices wherever they are, wherever you are, whatever they are, and all in one platform!

For anyone upgrading, there are 2 essential elements to be aware of before upgrading:

   * If you are upgrading from less than version 14.8, expect longer than normal upgrade times (one time process)
   * A new port (TCP 20124) for notifications has been added in 14.10.2 and others had been added in prior releases. You may need to add new firewall rules. (read more)
   * FileWave has completed the migration to TeamViewer and "Observe Client" is fully removed

Additionally, there are several deprecation and decommission notices currently active, which you will find within the "Features and Updates in this Release" section.  

Your existing FileWave Server must be version 13.3.1 or higher before you can upgrade to FileWave 14.7.2 and then from 14.7.2 you can upgrade to 15.0.1.  The minimum memory requirement for FileWave 14+ is 8GB.

Supported Versions

Supported Versions

FileWave Official Version Support

FileWave development teams officially support two major versions at any time, N and N-1. For example, If we assume that the most recent version of FileWave is 14.9.x, then we will officially support versions 14.9.x and 14.8.x. Releases for major versions of FileWave occur roughly every quarter.

What does "officially support" mean? Officially supporting these versions means that we will investigate bug reports in these versions and patch issues that are significant. We will not produce patches for earlier versions than N-1, as this means allocating development resources to problems that are already potentially resolved instead of investing those resources into furthering the product. In short, if an issue is found in a version earlier than the officially supported versions, then remediation for the issue will be in the form of an application upgrade, or a patch to that more recent version.

This does not mean that you can't contact our support teams about an earlier version. They will, to the best of their ability, help you with older versions of the software but they will stop short of escalating tickets to our development teams and will likely recommend an upgrade so that you are getting the latest features and bug fixes.

Compatibility

A Note on Compatibility

A note on the Compatibility charts:  There are several states of compatibility for FileWave clients:  

  • "Compatible" (the first table) indicates that we have run QA regression tests against these operating system versions, and they are fully supported
  • Not being on the Compatibility chart (such as macOS 11) does not mean that platform is not supported...it just means we did not actively test against it, but we do expect it to function
    • Support of any issues experienced specifically on these platforms would be considered on a case-by-case basis (but these cases are exceedingly rare)
  • "Legacy" versions mean that we don't test, but we do provide a retro-version of a client so that the device can still report in  
    • There is NO support for these platforms beyond the availability of the older client, and in almost all cases these are for OSes that are no longer supported by the developer in question
  • Lastly, items do fall out of support, such as Windows XP and probably soon the older Android APK client as examples, but we always include these items in our release notes

An additional note on third-party software inclusion, such as TeamViewer:

  • Partnerships we have with third party providers have their own set of system requirements for those released applications.  We test against their most recent versions, and support of those applications is limited to third-party vendor specifications.

FileWave Imaging Virtual Server Platform Support

fwivs-icon.png

The FileWave Imaging Virtual Server (IVS) is a special appliance that provides imaging support for Windows 10 and 11 UEFI and non-UEFI devices.

The IVS appliance is CentOS 7.9 based and can be run on:

  • VMWare VSphere ESX installations
  • VMWare Fusion
  • VMWare Player and Workstation
  • Virtual Box

Historically the imaging appliance also supported macOS imaging, but the process for imaging Macs has changed from macOS 10.13.  If you are interested in imaging macOS devices, please read the Imaging in the age of High Sierra article for macOS 10.13 (and beyond) support.

      or Andcreate ifnew you are not aware, there is an Associations → Deployments conversion tool in FIleWave Anywhere deployments.

      Exclusions (revised):

        The meaning and the impact of exclusions in deployments have been revisited to be clearer and more predictable. granular details here In general terms, exclusions have been updated so that they more properly exclude devices from the singular deployment only, and not content from the device more globally (as could sometimes be the case before) Effectively with this change, devices are just "ignored" now in a deployment when they are set to be excluded

        • Warning!Force Game-changing, awesome enhancement follows!
        When an inventory query returns device information, it is now possible to directly perform actions on devices in the report, without the extra "Reveal Client" step!

        context-menu-query.png

        Default tracking state:

          There is a new option in Preferences to define what is the default tracking state for devices
          tracking-preference.png This change allows you to set the device to "Tracked" for instance before it even enrolls.  Then, when enrolled it will automatically be set.

          Duplicate profile filesets:

            Warning! Game-changing, awesome enhancement follows!

            Profile filesets (Apple, Google, Windows and FileWave Policy) can new be duplicated both from FileWave Central and FileWave Anywhere admin consoles

            duplicate-filesets-menu.png

            Notes:

              New UUIDs are re-generated for Apple Profiles to ensure unicity of duplicated profiles As changing UUIDs would break profile signature, signed profiles can't be duplicated

              Windows Imaging associations can be managed in FileWave Anywhere

                Windows images (once created) can now be assigned to devices from FileWave Anywhere

                Updated Dashboard Content (FileWave Anywhere)

                  A new dashboard for NATS has been added to the FileWave dashboard in FileWave Anywhere The NATS notification system, introduced with FileWave 14.8.0, is a critical system component: notifications are used to synchronize all admin consoles, and by all other components to quickly interact. Monitoring how the NATS sub-system is utilized/working is useful for maintaining your overall FileWave installation health

                                        DecommissionedDeprecated Features

                                        The following features haveare beendeprecated removed fromin FileWave 15.0.1:14.10.2 and will be removed in a future version:

                                        • Device Discovery (Network Scanning) function of FileWave Boosters
                                          • Reason: This tool was never effective in production environments, has hardly ever been used, and is easily replaced by any off-the-shelf network scanning tool
                                        • ZMQ based features for clients running 14.7 or older
                                          • Reason: ZMQ has been replaced by NATs,NATS, so older client devices must be updated to use the new notification framework 

                                        Some features relying on notifications require the same notification library. This means that the following features will stop working for devices running FileWave 14.7 or earlier versions:

                                        Clients:

                                          CRL update handling TeamViewer sessions Reboot command (Windows devices) Personal Recovery Key updates (macOS) Verify Command from FileWave Anywhere Client Monitor from FileWave Anywhere


                                          Boosters:

                                            CRL update handling Handle server certificate renewal Automatic Upgrade from FileWave Central Discovery Scan from FileWave Central (Discovery is anyway decommissioned)

                                            Other device management and inventory report features are not impacted by ZMQ removal.

                                            Deprecated Features

                                            The following features are deprecated in FileWave 15.0.1 and will be removed in a future version:

                                            • Android device management prior to Android EMM (using APKs, etc)
                                              • Reason: Android EMM is the replacement for the much older method of managing Android devices

                                            Deprecated features are still functional in a current release, but will no longer be updated and in future will be removed.

                                                    Note that you can upgrade boosters centrally using the Auto-Upgrade feature within the admin console. You can find out how to do that at this KB article.

                                                    Upgrading an Existing IVS

                                                    Most likely, your IVS is already at CentOS 7, and you can run the following to easily upgrade your existing IVS appliance:

                                                    # login via ssh / root
$ yum update -y
$ yum update -y filewave-IVS
$ reboot

                                                    If you get a response to the above command that "no packages are marked for update", then you'll need to run the below just one time on this IVS:

                                                    # login via ssh / root
$ yum update -y
$ yum install -y filewave-IVS
$ reboot

                                                    If the version of your IVS is still running on CentOS 6, the upgrade path requires replacing your current appliance as CentOS 6 is End of Life. Upgrade instructions are detailed here for this scenario : IVS Upgrade/Migration Options.
