Portal Release Notes
12/12/2023: PolicyPak Build number 23.12.3745.1241
General & UI Updates
Netwrix PolicyPak Now Supports ARM Processors for CSE and MMC
Netwrix PolicyPak ships with ARM support; the CSE is fully functional for all PolicyPak Components including PolicyPak Least Privilege Manager. MMC snap-in is fully functional to create PolicyPak rules as well. See demo and setup video here. See supportability statement about ARM processors here.
Note: ARM support will generally ship 4 times per year, and lag somewhat behind normal builds. The latest ARM build will always be in the download so you’ll never need to guess which one is latest. For instance, ARM support will not ship with NTFS traverse or some of the other updates mentioned in this build, since it will lag behind somewhat.
Note: ARM CSE will be supported alongside PolicyPak Cloud next iteration (Jan / Feb timeframe).
Netwrix Auditor now in MMC fly-out menus
Once PolicyPak to Netwrix Auditor connection is established, now you can quickly open Netwrix Auditor from right-click menu. Example: https://share.zight.com/E0um1wGx
