See the CentralControl Operations Guide for detailed information. This guide is available from your service provider.
For Agents 6.90 and later, Windows CentralControl connects to both the BUAgent and VVAgent services. This means that you need to provide an additional port for the Agent connection. 
For Agents 6.90 and later, the default port for the BUAgent is 8031. If you use the default ports, Windows CentralControl will automatically detect the BUAgent port to use. If you use custom ports, you will need to provide another port for the BUAgent.

4.1	Fixes 
There are no fixes in this release.
4.2	Known Issues
If you also used Portal 7.40 to manage Agents, and notice changes in how safesets are retained on your vault, contact EVault Support for assistance. A problem in Portal 7.40 sometimes caused incorrect retention IDs. (26957)
Windows CentralControl sometimes becomes unresponsive when you try to browse for virtual machines in large vSphere environments. 
WORKAROUND: Windows CentralControl can now be configured to allow browsing for virtual machines in large vSphere environments. For more information, contact Support. (23550) 
With Windows CentralControl, using Restore from another computer from a SQL standalone machine to a virtual SQL Cluster, Restore to file on disk fails and the wizard disappears after you select Vault, Computer and job. No Dump or Log file is created. 
WORKAROUND: Use Portal to run this type of restore from another computer, or restore using the physical node. (23261)
