  • New conditional downloading abilities in actions.
  • Reporting and evaluation optimizations
  • Many new inspectors
  • And much more

Upgraded Unix/Linux Agents -

Upgraded Unix/Linux agents for BES 6.0 are now available. In addition to fixing some minor issues, we have added agent support for Solaris 10 on x86. Upgrade Fixlet messages are now available for clients running previous versions of Unix/Linux agents.
