.NET version

m.taylor

It looks like the current Atera agent automatically installs v6.0.35 of the .NET runtime framework which can then be upgraded to v6.0.36 however version 6 became end of support last week - see here:

Our patch management tools have lit up like a Christmas tree with every computer that has Atera installed now showing as vulnerable. A number of our clients have to be remediated within 14 days to remain compliant with either their Cyber insurance policies or the various Cyber Security Frameworks (e.g. Cyber Essentials).

We've been advised by Atera support via chat that the agent doesn't work on the newer versions of .NET - what's everybody doing to remain compliant as this is potentially a rather large headache…..

Investigating this currently. We really need them to move onto a new version of .NET - and quickly.
