Updates in 2026

Features

Integrating Omnissa App Volumes in AdminStudio

• AdminStudio now integrates with Omnissa App Volumes, enabling users to import existing VHD/VHDX packages, convert MSI, EXE, and PS1 installers into VHD/VHDX, VMDK, and wrapped MSI formats with associated metadata, and automatically import converted VHD and wrapped MSI packages so they can be managed like any other application in the AdminStudio catalog, streamlining App Volumes onboarding, conversion, and lifecycle management within a single, centralized workflow.

Support for Tanium Distribution System

• A new Tanium Distribution Plugin connection has been added to the list of supported distribution systems. This enhancement enables AdminStudio to publish supported MSI and EXE application packages directly to Tanium, providing a centralized and streamlined deployment workflow. The Tanium Deployment Data tab is available in the Home Deployment Type view, allowing users to view Tanium specific deployment details for ease of application management across deployment platforms.

Repackager now Supports MP4 Video Step Recording

• A new Use Video Recorder to capture installation steps and save a reviewable video check box has been added to the Set Target Project Information and Capture Settings panel. With this enhancement, Repackager now includes a built-in Video Recorder that captures high-fidelity screen recordings of user installation steps in MP4 format. The recorder automatically captures installation activities integrated into the repackaging workflow to provide accurate and reviewable installation video.

Password Encryption Update in AdminStudio

• AdminStudio now uses stronger encryption to securely store all saved passwords. After upgrading, existing passwords must be updated to the new encryption format. To make this easy, a new standalone Encryption Migration Utility is available to migrate all stored credentials in one step. Alternatively, users can re-enter passwords manually within AdminStudio. An important message is displayed until all passwords are updated.
