It may help, since it would allow the client to continue on with the action even if the scrubber stays running. But if the scrubber is running out of the __Downloads directory, then it would prevent later actions from starting their downloads. You can move the scrubber scripts to another temp directory and run it from there to prevent that problem.
I also added one feature missing from the original post which should be very helpful for those managing systems in different countries/encodings, or just files in different character set encodings.
The updated WebUI configuration that directly accesses the database is available in 9.5.5 and higher platform versions. You need to use the task “Deploy WebUI Database Configuration” (ID #2687) (after upgrading the platform) to enable the new config for auto patch.
Looking for some examples of the new “Run As User” command, I don’t see it when I go to compile a Task, I only see run. This functionality is supposed to be in 9.5.7. Is there a special way to invoke this command? Thanks.
The IBM BigFix team is releasing a Windows Agent and Relay binary refresh for BigFix 9.5 Patch 7 (v9.5.7.94).
This version includes all of the previously announced 9.5.7 functionality and adds support for the BigFix Agent and Relay on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (release id 1709).
IBM recommends upgrading any existing v9.5.7.90 Agents and Relays to v9.5.7.94 for any systems that are currently running the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. The recommended environment will have v9.5.7.94 Windows Agents and Relays reporting to v9.5 Server.
Actions to Take
Upgrade any current 9.5.7 Windows Agents and Relays using the 9.5.7 upgrade Fixlets as soon as possible.
The upgrade Fixlets for the Agents and Relays are available in BES Support version 1371 (and later).
Note: This release includes an updated version of the upgrade Fixlets, but the Windows Installation Generator on support.bigfix.com will still contain the older Windows Agent binary to allow users to install the original version of v9.5.7.90. Complete coverage of all the Agents installation methods will be available starting from 9.5 Patch 8.
Question 1.
Is it required to upgrade the relays ONLY if they are running on Windows 10 Build 1709
OR
The relays should be UPGRADED to 9.5.7.94 BEFORE deploying the agent upgrade REGARDLESS of what OS the Relays are running?
And for those of us at 9.5.5 for our BES Infrastructure? We have no relays on Win10. Are we supposed to upgrade any Win10 1709 endpoints to 9.5.7.94 even though our Infrastructure is at 9.5.5?
We are running 9.5.2.56 and are upgrading to 9.5.7 in a month and only have about 6 users testing 1709 would they be able to update the BES client to 9.5.7.94? for it to work with 1709
