Modifying Site Subscriptions

(imported topic written by kmann2391)

In our environment we have subscribed to several Patches for Windows sites for multiple languages. All of the fixlet content is starting to take up a few hundred MB of disk space on each endpoint, so I was looking for ways to reduce that and also to cut down on how much each endpoint has to process. I spot checked a few fixlets from some of these sites and it looks like most of them have a relevance clause related to that specific language, for example:

(language of version block of file “kernel32.dll” of system folder contains “Portuguese (Brazil”) AND ((not exists key “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\MUILanguages” of registry) OR (not exists value of key “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\MUILanguages” of registry))

I was considering modifying the site subscription for these sites and set it to use these relevance expressions for that specific language in hopes that would cut down on how much ends up on each endpoint. I just want to verify that this will behave as expected and to see if there are any concerns with doing this?

Yep… I believe that will work fine…

I

think

we have made mastheads that will automatically exclude themselves for different OSes or for different languages, but I will need to check…

Great, thanks Ben. I’ll give it a try.
