New main window layout

The controls layout on the main application window was reorganized to simplify customization.

Space for the Machine Queue view was expanded, so it becomes easier to manage data on it.

Improved the Machine Queue editor

The Machine Queries and Machine Queue editors, used in previous versions or the application, were merged into the single editor. On the left side of this editor you can select available machines, groups of machines and machine queues and move required elements to the right side in order to use them as targets of the WOL operation. If you like, you can create new machine queries directly in the right side of the editor, that represents the configured Current Queue. Also you can preview a list of PCs reported by the Current Queue on the Effective Queue Structure tab.

• Wrong date format used for Application Log export

Version 1.1 is available

MAC address retrieving from DHCP

The Professional edition of the application includes an additional option to retrieve MAC addresses from Microsoft DHCP servers. MAC retrieving from DHCP has a significant advantage over other MAC detection mechanism, because it allows to get MAC addresses for all network PCs even if they are turned off. Depending on network connection settings DHCP servers used to retrieve MAC addresses can be detected automatically by the application or can be specified manually through the Preferences dialog.

Active Directory queries

Now the Professional edition of the application offers a flexible configuration of WOL operation targets using so-called Machine Queries. If you run the application in a domain environment you can specify WOL targets using Active Directory queries instead of define a fixed list of PCs. For example, you can run WOL for all PCs in a particular Organization Unit in AD. You can use visual editor to build required AD query and run it to ensure that it returns required PCs. Machine Queries allow retrieving always up-to-date set of PCs from AD. If you specify query in the Machine Queue of a scheduled task, you don't need to update it manually, because the actual list of PCs is extracted from the AD every time when WOL is executed.
