7.6.3 for windows is in RA right now, so I would say NO there is no such
thing as 7.6.5 or 7.6.4 for that matter.. At least not yet.

I am told there is a beta for v8.0 though if you can find a way to get
on THAT alpha/beta team.

We do appear to have come across a small anomaly....

We are using Windows Scheduler to run a few maintenance scripts. Basic
mminfo commands for tape maintenance etc....

After the upgrade and subsequent reboot of the server, it would appear
new security settings have been implemented. I believe that to be a
result of network security making changes that took effect after the
reboot.

But I did hear others say something about a similar issue on Linux where
if you run scripts interactively (admin account) it would work and but
the script running via a system account stopped working. /shrug We will
figure this out today hopefully.

Other than that, looking forward to the new clone staging options and
adding a shiny new DataDomain to the mix!

Semper fidelis et paratus, /ALE

Isn't 7.6.5 the latest version for Windows?

I'm still on 7.6.2, but I'm hoping in a couple weeks or so, when I can 
schedule a weekend to do it. (quite honestly, going from 7.6.2 to 7.6.5 
should easily be able to be done during normal working hours, and 
shouldn't take *too* long; it's not like you have to re-load the media 
database or anything, like in a D/R situation, or between Win2003 x86
and 
Win2008 R2 x64). In my case, it would be the server and 8 storage nodes,

all local, no firewalls.
