Insights Active Directory Connector - version 1.1.16

On Thursday January 28, 2016 OpenDNS will release version 1.1.16 of the Active Directory Connector (the Windows Service component).   The upgrade will take place gradually, with a rollout over the course of one to two weeks, ending on February 21, 2016.  In case of issues seen in field or delays in delivery of software, updates or changes to this release schedule will be posted here.

NOTE:  Due to a delay in this release process, the release of 1.1.16 to mainline production will take place on the week of February 15, 2016 with most customers receiving the update on February 17th or 18th.

NOTE: The release of Connector version 1.1.15 was halted midway through and as a result, some customers will have Connectors on version 1.1.14 and some customers will have Connectors on version 1.1.15. The release of the 1.1.16 version will mean that customers on both 1.1.14 and 1.1.15 will upgrade to 1.1.16.   Customers with 1.1.14 will upgrade directly to 1.1.16, skipping the 1.1.15 release.

• The Connector can now be installed with only .NET 4.0 or .NET 4.5 present (no need to install .NET 3.5) and the check for version 3.5 has been removed.
