Removal of obsolete fixlets and tasks from BES Support

Release Announcements Platform (Release Announcements)

Hello, in one of the upcoming updates to BES Support site we plan to make some clean-up and remove a set of tasks and fixlets that have been determined to be no longer used or useful.

The aim is to streamline the publishing and gathering process and reduce the amount of content that agents must evaluate.

This is mainly content to deploy and manage BigFix components at release 9.5 (different patch versions). Please note BigFix v9.5 went end of support on June 30th, 2024.

BESSupport will continue to include the content to deploy and manage the last patch of BigFix 9.5- version 9.5.25.

Attached to this thread you find the list of tasks and fixlets and tasks that will be removed.

Please let us know if you think some of these objects should be retained. For further communication please contact alessandro.dinia@hcl-software.com

Also, I would note that you can still download previous versions of the client and BigFix software from here if needed: https://support.bigfix.com/bes/install/downloadbes.html

That said, it is recommended that you use the latest supported version of each on the target platform, so ideally you should not use previous versions of 9.5 anyway.
