Pre-Upgrade Considerations

• This release includes all the BigFix Platform components. It also includes the Plugin Portal that enables the Multicloud and Modern Client Management capabilities.
• The unixODBC RPM package is a prerequisite for the Server components on Linux systems (see Server Requirements). This applies to version 10.0 Patch 2 and later.
• Upgrade paths to BigFix 10 begin with v9.5.10 or later. For details, see Upgrade paths (Windows) and Upgrade paths (Linux).
• For detailed information on the specific changes to minimum supported versions of operating systems and databases for BigFix 10, see Detailed system requirements.
• BEFORE getting started with the upgrade process, stop any active application that is connected to the BigFix database (such as Web Reports, WebUI, BigFix Inventory, or BigFix Compliance).

We’re currently running BigFix Server and Relay version 10.0.1.41 and we accidently pushed the client version 10.0.3.66 to >500 servers. With the planned server upgrade next month to version 10.0.2.52, will the higher version client cause an issue during the upgrade process?
