IBM BigFix Patch: Patches for Windows enhances its support for Office 365

Usage and Config Patch
1

IBM BigFix Patch for Windows is pleased to announce that it has enhanced its support of Office 365.

In this version, users can configure as the update source the binaries that are downloaded to a client cache folder by BigFix. Earlier versions supported Microsoft Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Network Share as the update sources. Unlike the Network Share approach, the entire binary is downloaded to the client’s cache folder through the BigFix architecture.

Supported update channels:

  • Current channel
  • Deferred channel
  • First release for deferred channel

Supported types of updates:

  • Security updates
  • Non-security updates

Why does the English (United States) and Japanese localizations of the Office 365 Deferred Channel fixlets have a Beta Category while the rest have Security Update as the Category?

Beta - 365141, 365145, 365143, 365147

3

does this mean “there is an office365 repository on every client” ?

4

Thanks Greg for reporting the issue! Content team will fix this very soon. They should all belong to the same category.

Hi Selim,

Yes, and hence the cache size and disk space requirement. This support is targeting users who have issue deploying via ‘Microsoft CDN’ or ‘Network Share’.
