3D Adds 2 New Automated Services to ProActive™

3D is constantly improving and adding new features to our catalog in order to better serve our clients. Two new features have been deployed for our ProActive™ clients to further the prevention of network issues and save time by eliminating the need to complete these tasks manually.


DHCP Workstation Audit

This new feature automatically alerts when a computer is configured manually instead of with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP is a network configuration for IP networks, and all computers need to be configured before they can connect to the network. When a computer is manually configured it risks not conforming to the network settings and can complicate troubleshooting if there is an issue, particularly when server upgrades are taking place. When there is an alert, the settings can be updated in accordance with best practices.  This feature is in place for all ProActive™ clients with alerting.

Watchguard WebBlocker Auto Fix

For ProActive™ Managed and Partner clients, a new automated fix is available which monitors Watchguard WebBlocker. This automation ensures the standard port which the WebBlocker service uses will be reserved. If the port is in use by another program, WebBlocker may not be able to start. This new feature ensures that WebBlocker runs more reliably, preventing unwanted web browsing and slowness which can occur when the WebBlocker service is unreachable.
