HCL Software is pleased to announce the availability of BigFix Remote Control version 10.1 FP1
New Content:
- New Command Session Mode is now available!
This release introduces a new session mode named Command; it allows the operator to interact with the target computer via command line, without interfering with the user of the system. This is useful especially in cases where command line access is needed to troubleshoot problems or apply configuration changes.
The Command Mode provides a controller interface that emulates a terminal. When in command mode it is possible to operate on the remote system with no disruption of the remote user in those situations where such disruption is not advisable. While in command mode the remote system desktop is not accessible to users operating on the controller.
Operations performed while in command mode can optionally be saved on the server for auditing purposes.
Other information:
Customers currently using the wrcmdpcr command line interface should follow a specific upgrade order (where the server is upgraded last) to ensure continuity of operations.
Make sure you review the policy settings when enabling the Command Session Mode to ensure your session establishment requirements are met.
For more information and limitations please refer to the product readme and documentation.
- Multiple Controller Instances on MacOS
Starting from this release it is possible to start multiple controller instances on MacOS targets as in the other platforms.
- Currency: support Oracle 19 database
- Unattended Target Initial Session Mode Selection
Starting from this release it is possible to start a session with an unattended target in any session mode. In earlier releases it was only possible to start the session in Active mode.
