BigFix v11 or v11.0.1 issues

[vk.khurava]

Hello,

We currently planning an upgrade to our BigFix infrastructure, and we are considering moving to either version 11 or v11.0.1. Before proceeding, we wanted to reach out to the BigFix community to gather insights and feedback regarding any experiences or challenges you may have encountered during similar upgrades.

If you have recently upgraded to BigFix v11 or v11.0.1, or if you are currently using these versions, we would greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences. Your valuable insights can help us better understand potential challenges, best practices, and any issues that might arise during the upgrade process.

You can check this out, there are some comments over there.

Have You Upgraded?

Have you upgraded to BigFix 11 yet? poll If you have, have you spotted any quirkiness or issues in BF11 that others should know of? poll Have you found a new use case that’s came about as a direct result of upgrading? poll Have you seen any performance changes with any part of the infra? poll Feel free to add some comments The only issue I’ve found so far are agent installation issues with Solaris 11 servers but I have a case open for it

Hi All,

we have upgraded to 11.0.0.175, the only issue was: BigFix AIX Client v11 stops working

But the biggest challenge was to enable Enhanced Security by using the BigFix Administration Tool.
The challenge was to find the sitePvkPassword
Especially if you have more than just one BigFix/ILMT system
and you have takeover some of the systems from other colleagues.
