Cannot create custom filter by applicable OS

These inconsistencies are an issue, I agree.

My suggested solution was to use session relevance to get the list of patches that have windows 7 computers relevant to them. This might not be ideal, but it is useful. You need to run the session relevance in the session relevance tester, or the presentation debugger, or in webreports.

The real question is, what are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to make a baseline of all relevant patches for all Windows 7 computers? If so, then I have a solution I am working on to automate this process:

Automatic Baseline Creation and eventually AutoPatching

I have created a task/fixlet that uses the REST API to automatically generate a baseline. My next step is to create a second action that will automatically create the baseline, and then automatically deploy it to test machines to achieve “AutoPatching”. See here: http://bigfix.me/fixlet/details/6132 The core of this is basically a session relevance query that returns the set of fixlet objects you wish to deploy which feeds into more session relevance that takes a set of fixlet objects and tur…

All you need to do is define a session relevance query that returns the set of patches you want to be included in the baseline. Once you have that, the creation of the baseline can be automated by using this same query every time you wish to create a new patch baseline.
