Hi @Pramesh_Verma ,

This announcement says that the BigFix DISA STIG Checklist for Windows 2008 R2 MS, site version 22 has been updated for Windows Server 2008 R2 Member Server STIG, V1, R27. The statments seems contradictory to the values of the X-Fixlet-Source headers with this new update Many of them say:

X-Fixlet-Source: Windows Server 2008 Member Server Security Technical Implementation Guide Version 1 Release 30

Can you help me in understanding the correct way to interpret this? The site update announcement says R27, but many of the fixlets in the site say R30.

Thanks.

We have both STIG and Benchmark contents and we refer the STIG version for the site which is v1r27.
V1r30 is the version for SCAP Benchmark but the STIG checklist version is v1r27.
Thanks.
