Hmm, maybe we should have started with this post, but for those of you who have not installed Autodesk Vault Professional 2015 yet (or maybe weren't paying attention during the install), we have made some pretty nice changes designed to ease the pain through that stressful time.
Project Sync
The first thing we have done is make Project Sync 2015 available under the Tools and Utilities section of the 2015 Vault Professional Client media. This historically has been a separate download and in fact prior versions of this tool will still be available on the Buzzsaw site, but 2015 makes it much easier to implement at the time of install.
Job Processor
Based on user feedback we have also now made the Job Processor a separate install option, meaning it cab be added or removed during install or un-installed separately via add/remove programs if you change your mind after. Installing a job processor on every client is unnecessary, result in multiple licenses being consumed from the same client as well as impacting the productivity of the CAD user.
‘sa’ password
Finally, in response to a number of customer requests, we have modified the server install behavior, enabling users to install without having to use the default SQL server system administrator (sa) account. This adds a lot of flexibility to high-security environments where there is a strong password policy in place or restrictions on use of the default SQL ‘sa’ account.
All in all the above represents some simple changes designed to streamline and simplify the install process, we hope makes a big difference to system admins and users alike.
