We are proud to announce the release of Network Administrator 3.0. Thanks for all of the suggestions, and bug reports. Every one of them helped us.
Give it a spin, and download it from here:

(If you purchased a pre-order serial number – use this download and activate it with the serial number you received)
If your plugin has not been implemented, not to worry, we are going to keep pushing them out over the coming months and weeks.
Before that, our next step will be to finish the plugin builder. This will be a web based system that will be free for anyone to use. You will be able to build your own plugins using VBScript, or Batch files. Later, once we get that all smoothed out, we will consider adding other scripting platforms like Kix Script, and Powershell.
So far, we have a settings panel designer almost finished. It still needs the graphics for the different component types, but we will get that done. After that we will implement the logon system and plugin generator. Once that is complete we will start allowing people to beta test the service.
