Windows agent

This release includes updated Windows core and bare metal agents. The 10.7.6 core agent is recommended for most 64-bit Windows assets is required for Windows fixes in this release.

Beginning in Windows agent release 10.6.6, a secure pairing is automatically established between the appliance and the Windows agent on each of its protected assets. This pairing enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt data and authenticate connections between appliances and agents.  communication between appliances and agents is only allowed if there is a matching (paired) certificate.

• If upgrading from a pre-10.6.9 agent release, backups may fail until the pairing completes successfully (this can take up to two hours).
  • To protect Hyper-V clusters, SQL clusters, or file server clusters with the secure agent pairing feature:
    - The cluster must be running agent version 10.6.9 or higher.
    - The Unitrends appliance and cluster must be running in the same time zone.
