Hi all.
i have an inusual case. The followin patch “MS18-JUL: Security Monthly Quality Rollup - Monthly Rollup - Windows 7 SP1 - KB4338818” have several relevants endpoints.
When send the fixlet to one relevant endpoint the result is “Not relevant” but it’s still relevant in the fixlet.
If i send “Force Refresh” to the endpoint ceases to be relevant for this fixlet and many more.
I think you should use the fixlet debbuger on the target machine to check locally the relevance of the fixlet or Fixlets you want to troubleshoot, for a start.
If a “Send Refresh” causes the fixlet to update to non-relevant, I’d think it more likely that your client is having a slow evaluation cycle (and the fixlet applicability would eventually update on its own), or your client is having some kind of problem posting reports.
The client will only report deltas unless you send a force refresh. So either the content was evaluated again and the value changed or maybe a report was lost which the force refresh cleared up.
If anyone manipulates, deletes etc the files in __BESData this can cause problems like this. More recent clients will automatically do the equivalent of a force refresh if the master actionsite was missing when they start up for example.
