IBM Endpoint Manager ends provision of security and non-security updates with Windows XP EOL

Windows XP reached its end of life last April 8, 2014. Microsoft has ended support for Windows XP and will no longer be issuing security updates nor technical support. Microsoft suggests that partners and customers migrate to a current supported operating system to protect computers from malicious attacks.

IBM Endpoint Manager, in turn, will no longer provide security and non-security content and support for Windows XP. However, users of existing Windows XP content can still go through the standard IBM support channels to raise concerns and for troubleshooting support. Customers who signed contracts with Microsoft for extended support for Windows XP are suggested to get in touch with your IBM account representative to get future support for IBM Endpoint Manager for Windows XP patching.

To detect Windows XP machines, you can use Fixlet ID 353: Microsoft Unsupported: Windows XP, which is published in Patching Support site version 210.

Actions to Take:

Use Fixlet ID 353: Microsoft Unsupported: Windows XP to detect Windows XP machines. This Fixlet is found in Patching Support site version 210.
