I noticed installing the new 9.5.7.90 BigFix on Windows server 2016 that the Bes Gather Service is missing from the services running and the bigfix diagnostic tool does not show it or any error. Is this service still installed or is it running as the bes gather mirror plugin which is showing fine . I am getting no errors from the diagnostic tool but i am getting error on downloading bessupport site but think that is just security stripping the header.
What you are seeing is normal. That service is no longer used so it has been removed. I think it was removed with version 9.5.5 but not 100 percent sure. Either way… it is gone now and the root server service takes care of gathering content.
thanks for the quick response and that is good news.
