OVD Messaging
2.8.0 includes the ability to send actionable alerts to users from the central Admin console.
Administrators can notify users of important events like planned system downtime, updates to terms of service, or any other issues that users need to know. OVD Messaging can also be used to survey users for feedback by including multiple response options in the alerts.
Better Integration with Active Directory
OVD Enterprise 2.8.0 improves compatibility with Microsoft Active Directory Domain Forests. The improvements let OVD Enterprise authenticate users within their subdomains against a master Active Directory Forest, making deployment within multi-domain environments faster, easier, and more secure.
