Honestly, I’d prefer the past conventions where BigFix would publish a fixlet with no default action, or even without an action at all; BigFix should show us a patch is needed, even if you don’t want to install it for us.

BigFix has released audit content, which has no actions, for KB3063109.
This notice supersedes an earlier notice stating that BigFix won’t release update content for this particular KB.
