Pre-Caching custom fixlets

(imported topic written by tazmir91)

Hi, in our patch environment we cache all relevant patches on systems due to a short maintenance window; we are unable to cache fixlets with 00- in front of their IDs, e.g. custom copy of of an existing fixlet or a custom fixlet. Used all available options in the precache wizard enterprise security etc., none can pick these custom fixlets and cache on the clients.

Thanks for the help.

Hi tazmir,

There is a new option in BigFix 8.0 in the Take Action Dialog that tells the agent to pre-cache the file before it is time to run the action. This is designed exactly for the scenario you mention for the agent pre-cache the file before it is time to run in the maintenance window.

Have you seen this option?

Ben
