Privilege Management for Windows 5.6 SR2 Release Notes

August 4, 2020

New Features and Enhancements:

  • Reverted a change made in version 5.6.126.0 which caused some applications to require DriverInjectionFallbacks.
  • Updated the EULA.

Requirements:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (required to use Activity Viewer, Power Rules, PowerShell audit scripts, and PowerShell API)
  • PowerShell 3.0 (required to use Power Rules, PowerShell audit scripts, and PowerShell API)
