Azure Connected Machine agent

Just wanted to check if HCL Bigfix release any fixlet for the security updates on Azure Connected machine agent?

Its a fairly new agent comes and Microsoft releases patches for that everymonth.

Please share more details, are you referring devices (proxy agent) which are being discovered using plugin-portal?

No, it’s the agent MS enforces you to install to manage ESU license management - if they haven’t done it to you, they will soon enough (supposedly they will be sunsetting the MAK delivery of ESU license). Azure Arc Overview & ESU Options Overview

From what I gather the system is actually management system much like to the mould of BigFix but since they tell you that you won’t be able to manage ESU licenses you are forced to adopt it to some extend if you have EOL OS versions. They do seem to post the older versions in the MS Catalog and they do have “user-freiendly” static URL for the latest version, so from fixlet support as 3rd party application it shouldn’t be too hard to adopt…

yeah and it looks like a standard security update for Arc agent similar to OS patches. So wondering if its something HCL can adopt and release the fixlets for the same
