Windows Server 2016 compatibility and security

• With the new server version from Microsoft, extended firewall rules were made standard that prevented Dynamic Group from installing the service remotely. This issue has been resolved and the service can be installed and used normally in Windows Server 2016 environments.
• The DynamicGroup Console will not start any longer if it is installed on a domain controller. This is to prevent certain security issues, since DynamicGroup would require elevated rights for many operations on a domain controller.

2017-03-22 +++ Release DynamicGroup 2015.2

Dynamic Group Console

• If you changed both Query Conditions and LDAP filter manually in any query settings before saving, Dynamic Group will now ask you to convert them first to make sure which one to use
• Corrected various spelling and grammar mistakes
• If you change an existing condition in the Query Builder for the Member Query or OU Filter, the Apply button will now be correctly enabled
• If you change the SamAccountName (Group Name) of an existing group, the Common Name (cn) will automatically be set to the same value
• If there are any special characters in the SamAccountName while creating a group, these special characters will be removed by Dynamic Group

Dynamic Group Service

• Previously, the Dynamic Group Service ignored any group that had no member filter, so groups using only Include/Exclude lists were not calculated by the service
• This was changed due to the fact that a) it is allowed to do that in the Console and b) it is a useful tool when simply trying to reduce group nesting with the Flat Group option

• Updated documentation with changes in this update
