8.1.6.4.0 vs 8.2.1093.0 - Which should I upgrade to? (Currently on 8.1.617)

(imported topic written by tscott91)

I’m currently running 8.1.617.0 of BigFix… I haven’t pushed out an update lately (obviously)… Looking at it I see there is a 8.1.634.0 released on 1/9/12 and I also see a 8.2.1093.0 released on 12/12/11… The description fields of both fixlets don’t have a link to any release notes etc so I’m wondering which I should be upgrading to…

Thanks for any help…

We have upgraded to 8.2.1093 and we are having an issue with the web reports where we cannot use the Explore Data > Actions as we get an error that states “Unable to update data table: server aborted or there was an error processing your request”. We know this is not happening to everyone, but not sure what is different in our environment that is causing this issue. We have a PMR open and a fix is coming (couple weeks last we heard).

I have also seen some mention of people seeing some agent issues, but so far we have been good there.

But, the AD and role features are great! They are saving us tons of time setting up new ids :slight_smile:

Thanks for the reply.

By chance do you have a link to the release notes / features / bug fixes / etc to the new versions?

Thanks!
