BigFix Tag Generation issue

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone else is facing this problem but BigFix Inventory is not accurately detecting BigFix Compliance module in cases where you don’t have any external checklists subscribed to endpoints and those endpoints are not subscribed to any patching sites. The way support explained it is all based on what external sites are discovered subscribed to each endpoint and based on the sites it maps to the BigFix module via Site Mapping file. That is fine but what it fails to account is the recommended usage of BigFix Compliance module which is to create custom checklists using the wizards and copy the checks you want in them which you can then change desired values for. That is also downstream creating impact on BigFix Inventory’s ability to correctly identify machines with BigFix Compliance module.

Anyway, per advise of PM, I’ve raised an idea tor this to be addressed long-term, so if you think it is worth it please vote.
