Three new main features are introduced with the Precise 100 Logon 2.1 software:
1. To enable biometric logon to a network, the installation of Precise 100 Logon
2.1 software is only needed on the client PCs. There is no need for any
additional software installation on the domain server.
2. The domain administrator has the possibility to remotely administrate user accounts
on the domain server by using the BioManager for Domains application, i.e.
administration can be done from any workstation in the network having the Precise
100 Logon 2.1 installed. The BioManager for Domains application is included in
the Precise 100 Logon 2.1 software.
3. The user has the possibility to remotely (i.e. from his own PC) enrol and re-enrol
fingerprints, changing primary logon finger etc. for his own user account, called
