- FixedSynchronising now really does set the system clock accurately. Until now the deviation after the click was often larger than before — the function produced the very error it was meant to remove. Three causes worked together: what was set was the time measured when clicking Check time synchronisation — but seconds to minutes pass between the two clicks, and after that the user account control prompt is still open. Exactly that span landed in the clock as a new deviation. On top of that, the time was set rounded to whole seconds although the display shows three decimal places. And the deviation itself was computed too large: the entire round-trip time was included instead of only the return path. Now the server is queried again at the moment of setting — four times, and the measurement with the shortest round-trip time is used — and what is handed over is no longer a fixed point in time but the correction. It stays valid while the prompt is open. Afterwards a re-measurement takes place and the remaining deviation is stated in milliseconds.
- SecuritySaved passwords in the remote manager are no longer stored in plain text. Until now they sat openly in the file remotes.json — for RDP targets therefore often an administrator account. They are now stored bound to your Windows account and this machine; a copied file is worthless elsewhere. Existing targets are converted the first time the page is opened; you do not have to re-enter anything. Please note: Passwords saved earlier lay openly on the disk — and therefore in every backup of the user profile as well. Change them to be safe.
- FixedThe MAC scanner kept quiet about disabled network adapters. Their address was missing from the list entirely, with nothing to indicate it — the Windows query used so far simply does not return it for disabled adapters. For taking stock, that is the interesting case. The „type / status" column now additionally distinguishes physical from virtual adapters.
- FixedThe NTP page showed internal identifiers instead of text in ten places. Affected were the labels of the server inputs, the column headings of the results and the button.

- NewFour more data sources for Ordivis. AD computer objects, the site subnets from AD Sites & Services, the certificate inventory of this machine and a DNS/PTR reconciliation for an IPAM subnet — all things the server itself does not see but the Toolbox reaches from the workstation.
- NewSoftware list and vulnerabilities from the system analysis. The installed software as an inventory finding, the CVE results as risks. Deliberately separated — an inventory finding and a risk statement do not belong in the same pot. Only what is actually affected is reported.
- NewAn SNMP device as a CI candidate. With sysName, sysLocation, sysContact and the derived device class. The class travels as a suggestion — the decision is taken there by a human, not by pattern matching on text.
- SecurityLAPS passwords and BitLocker keys are never transmitted. In the directory they hang partly on the same objects as the computer data; they have no place in an operational data set.

- FixedTools could freeze the interface permanently. Ordivis Toolbox calls Windows programs in many places and reads their output. Until now that happened in an order in which the application stopped as soon as a called program produced many error messages — and for good, not just briefly. Around a dozen places across the application were affected. All calls now run through a common, guarded path with a time limit.
- Fixed„Renew DHCP lease" did nothing. The command was assembled incorrectly and never reached Windows at all — without an error message. It works now; all comparable calls have been converted to a method in which special characters can no longer break the command apart.
- FixedThe connection overview showed the wrong programs. In the list of open network connections, IPv6 connections consistently showed „System" instead of the actual program. The mapping is now done directly through Windows instead of through a text comparison that never matched IPv6 notation. As a side effect, the per-second program call disappears — the view runs noticeably more calmly.
- SecurityCertificate checking of the Ordivis connection is active. When sending to Ordivis Platform, verification of the server certificate was bypassed altogether — even though an access token with write permission is transmitted in the process. Verification is now on; for test environments with a self-issued certificate it can be switched off deliberately and visibly.
- FixedRejected submissions blocked the queue permanently. If the Ordivis server rejected a record, Ordivis Toolbox retried it endlessly — all subsequent submissions never arrived. Permanently rejected submissions are now set aside so that the rest gets through.
- FixedSettings could be lost in a crash. The configuration file was overwritten directly; if the operation broke off, saved credentials and tokens were gone. It is now written in full first and then swapped in.
- FixedScan ranges spanning several subnets hit the wrong network. With an entry such as 10.0.0.1-10.0.3.254 only the last block of digits was evaluated — a range other than the one given was scanned, without complaint. Such ranges are now resolved correctly.
- NewMore detail per device recorded. The scanner now adds further attributes per host and recognises the manufacturer from the hardware address even without internet access. Optionally, devices can be enriched via SNMP with system name, description and location.
- NewFeedback to the IP address management of Ordivis Platform. Detected network ranges and as yet unconfirmed addresses now travel back to Ordivis Platform and can be confirmed there. In addition, the lease lists of a DHCP server can be read out and handed over directly from the workstation — even when the Ordivis server cannot reach the DHCP server itself.

- ImprovedComplete migration to .NET 10. Ordivis Toolbox now runs on .NET 10 (WinUI 3, Windows App SDK 1.7) – a current runtime, faster startup and long-term maintainability. Nothing changes in the feature set.
- SecurityAD credentials encrypted with DPAPI. The saved Active Directory administrator password is no longer merely encoded but stored encrypted with Windows DPAPI, bound to the user. Credentials already saved are taken over automatically and without loss at first start.
- NewA new installer. Setup as a self-contained package (win-x64) – no separate .NET runtime installation needed, simply download and run.
- FixedMore stable map views & a warning-free build. The maps in the DNS, trace and zone tools (WebView2) are reliably connected again. Internal clean-up work additionally produces a completely warning-free build.

- NewOrdivis connection (scan ingest). Ordivis Toolbox can send the results of the IP scanner directly to the IP address management (IPAM) of Ordivis Platform . Connection and access token are set up under „Ordivis"; remote subnets that the server itself cannot reach are created or extended there. Sending works online as well as offline – if the server is unreachable, the batch lands in a local outbox and is submitted later.
- ImprovedA tidied project structure. The feature pages are now grouped into domain folders (Active Directory, DNS, IP tools, scanner, PKI, system & remote) – clearer and easier to maintain.
