Important notice about this weeks new release! » Know More IT

At the end of the week we are releasing a new version of CloudPanel that includes many new features and bug fixes. This version also is the first version that will limit you to 250 users total unless you purchase more licenses. If you upgrade to this version and you already have more than 250 users then you will only be allowed to edit the first 250 users created in CloudPanel. Attempting to edit a user that was created after the first 250 will result in an error being displayed.

Some of the new features in CloudPanel are:

• Exchange 2016 Support
• Manage Active Directory security groups per company
• Public Folder integration for 2013 and 2016
• You can no longer delete a user that is on litigation hold. In previous versions deleting a user removed the user from Active Directory regardless if it has a mailbox. Now deleting a user that is enabled in Exchange will result in the mailbox being disabled first then the user deleted.
• Allow domains to be created in multiple companies (shared domains)
• URL’s use mostly UserPrincipalNames instead of UserGuids to make it easier using the API
• Step by step wizard when creating a user that allows you to enter more data
• Ability to customize the company code to what you want (letters, whitespace, and numbers only) or allow the system to automatically generate it for you
• Global search option which searches only what you have permissions to
• New option for setting the DisplayName to a different value for the address lists. Previous versions created it as “<CompanyCode> – All Users” and that is how it would be displayed in Outlook and OWA, but now you can set the address list name/value to “<CompanyCode> – All Users” but keep the display name as “All Users”
• New OS style selecting when choosing members for distribution groups and security groups. You can now use CTRL + SELECT or SHIFT + SELECT to select multiple options just like you would in Windows

A few bug fixes:

• Resource mailboxes are not associated with an address book policy
• Top companies graph is sorted in the wrong direction
• Creating new users over and over resulted in error about too many Exchange connections
• You can delete a user on litigation hold
• SamAccountName does not limit characters to 19
• Generating password fields do not work
• LitigationHoldDuration error with Exchange 2010
• jQuery toggles were not working in some browsers
• Company Admins cannot access Citrix because it was looking for the wrong permission value
• Importing users would fail with Nullable value error
