New in Microsoft Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT) 1.1.0.0 (Jul 22, 2013)

  • Option to scan All Office programs (Access, Excel, InfoPath, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio and Word):
  • OffCAT v1.1 also includes an ‘All’ option that generates individual program scans for each Office program installed.
  • Additional detection rules and bug fixes:
  • Since OffCAT v1 first shipped, over 168 new detection rules and bug fixes were implemented. All of these updates are included in OffCAT v1.1.
  • CalCheck v2.1 included:
  • The CalCheck tool was update to v2.1 in June 2013. This version of CalCheck is included in OffCAT v1.1.
  • Portable html version of the OffCAT scan report:
  • For scenarios where you might want to share an OffCAT scan with someone who does not have OffCAT installed (for example, to view your scan), you can now export your OffCAT scan to a ‘portable’ HTML file. The file has ‘active’ content to give you the same expand/collapse functionality that is found in OffCAT.
  • Option to update rule files without prompting:
  • In OffCAT v1, if a new rule file is found on the Microsoft Internet site you are prompted to download the updated file(s). OffCAT v1.1 provides a new option that, when enabled, changes rule update behavior so that new rule files are automatically downloaded.
  • Additional group policy support:
  • OffCAT v1.1 includes five new group policy settings that you can use to administer the following features/functionality in OffCAT.
  • Display/hide the ‘Fix it for me’ link
  • Enable/disable the prompt to download updated rule files
  • Specify the default location for scan files
  • Control the CalCheck results threshold
  • Customize the URL location for updated rule files
  • The group policy template (OffCATv11.adm) is available on the download site.
  • New ‘Options’ page:
  • Default folder for saving scans - By default, scan files are saved to the %AppData%\Microsoft\OffCAT folder. Use this new option to specify a different folder for saving your scan files.
  • Theme color:
  • Choose from a palette of ten colors to customize the OffCAT theme
