You must have the latest published version of SOTI Connect 2024.1 installed on your system before installing version 2024.2. You cannot directly install SOTI Connect 2024.2 from an earlier version. In addition, SOTI Connect 2024.2 requires .NET 8 Runtime and ASP.NET Core Runtime 8 for upgraded .NET compatibility.
With the most recent database and process management improvements and the migration to .NET 8, SOTI Connect 2024.2 is now more powerful and faster than ever. The modifications to the overall SOTI Connect system have resulted in significant performance improvements that double its capacity for managing devices per instance.
Permissions management has been enhanced to provide more granular control and flexibility for administrators and users. By adding and leveraging Microsoft Entra ID support, we ensure a more secure and efficient workflow while seamlessly integrating with the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.
Rule creation within SOTI Connect has been enhanced to give users more control and flexibility, thereby streamlining the process of automation. Adding sequential rule actions allows users to choose between sequential and concurrent rule-firing modes, enabling them to tailor rule execution to match their workflow preferences.
Automation options have been expanded with the introduction of device property-to-property comparison, which allows users to define conditions based on specific device attributes. Additionally, the integration of advanced relations in rules such as "startswith," "endswith," and "contains" furthers the user’s ability to create advanced and precise rules to meet their needs.
SOTI Connect has greatly expanded its search capabilities for this release. The saved searches functionality allows users to define and save their search queries, providing the convenience of accessing frequently used search criteria without having to recreate them repeatedly. SOTI Connect now also supports the use of the OR condition in search criteria, enhancing search flexibility and accuracy.
SOTI Connect introduces several upgrades designed to improve the user experience. Some include:
IOT‑17299 | Sorting columns on the device panel caused functionality issues |
IOT‑18557 | Connection status remained as “not reachable” while device actions were completed successfully |
IOT‑19804 | Automatic Group Mapping not working for custom attributes with Datetime type |
IOT‑21052 | Generating and deploying a new certificate does not automatically update the certificate list in the device details |
