If a server stops or only starts with errors, then every minute of outage costs money. In such a situation, a solution must be found within minutes. Often, administrators simply switch to another system or restore a backup, if one is available. But what if these options are not available? It means that a whole new installation is required, with substantial down time. It is exactly here where O&O BlueCon 15 comes into play: using a standalone Windows system, which can be run from a USB stick or CD, the installed operating system is bypassed and can be analyzed and repaired using the integrated tools in O&O BlueCon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New in Version 15:<\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

  • BitLocker drives can be unlocked and accessed<\/li>\n
  • Data Recovery: The latest version of O&O DiskRecovery 12<\/li>\n
  • Data Backup: the new major version of O&O DiskImage 12<\/li>\n
  • AddIns are now in ZIP Format: Customers can add their own tools now with consummate ease (Notepad++ etc.)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Start straight from boot medium!<\/h3>\n

    <\/strong>
    \nFrom deactivating faulty drivers to resetting user passwords and reconstructing deleted data, O&O BlueCon<\/a> belongs to the standard tool box of any IT administrator. Various O&O products are included in the current version which can, for example, recover lost data (O&O DiskRecovery), securely delete confidential data (O&O SafeErase) or make a forensic image of a system (O&O DiskImage, available in the Plus Edition). The latest version supports Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, enables a network boot thanks to compatibility with Windows Deployment Services (PXE) and scripting over Windows 10 networks.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Create a PXE Boot medium <\/h3>\n

    <\/strong><\/p>\n

    In a Microsoft network environment, clients can now be started over a network – no DVD or USB stick is required. Using the PXE boot medium created within O&O BlueCon, customers can now boot a computer over their networks from a remote machine, rather than having to use a local medium such as a hard disk, CD, DVD or USB stick. The medium created in O&O BlueCon can be held on a central server and then activated for certain computers when needed, without this boot medium having to be physically available. The PXE server required to do this (Windows Deployment Service) is available in a Microsoft Domain or can be installed.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Daily solutions with the O&O BlueCon tools:<\/h3>\n

    <\/strong><\/p>\n

  • Backing up and restoring data: O&O DiskImage <\/li>\n
  • Restoring accidentally deleted data: O&O DiskRecovery<\/li>\n
  • Driver problems and service issues: O&O DeviceManager<\/li>\n
  • Secure deletion of data volumes: O&O SafeErase<\/li>\n
  • Resetting passwords: O&O UserManager<\/li>\n
  • Partitioning hard disks: O&O PartitionManager<\/li>\n
  • Combat errors in the registry database: O&O RegEditor<\/li>\n
  • Advanced error detection: O&O EventViewer and O&O CheckDisk<\/li>\n
  • Locating and removing data: O&O FileExplorer<\/li>\n
  • Downloading additional tools: Integrated Firefox browser<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

    NEW: BitLocker<\/h3>\n

    <\/strong><\/p>\n

    With the newest version from O&O BlueCon, BitLocker drives can be unlocked and the data accessed. After entering the BitLocker password, when booting through O&O BlueCon the encrypted drives can then be accessed. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Access a computer without an Admin Password<\/h3>\n

    <\/strong><\/p>\n

    The O&O BlueCon UserManager gives you access to all registered users. You can, for example, change forgotten passwords in just a few clicks so that a user can quickly login with a new password.<\/p>\n
