anyone known when should we get server 2019 support?

i believe it was added with 9.5.11

BigFix 9.5.11 added support for Client and Relay on Windows Server 2019.

and Server 2019 patches were included with the January releases.

There are still oddities with 2019 though. It hasn’t made it to the WebUI and OS Deployment shows it as Windows Server x64 B17763.107 (1809)

My previous support statement concerns only the Platform, sorry for possible confusion.
OSD will release support in the near future.
As concerns the WebUI, I think I am already seeing the correct version there, as below:

It does display correctly there. but certain features, such as patch policies, don’t have server 2019 listed.

Yes, Platform releases support for new OSs first, and then features like OSD and Patch Policies use that Platform to run their qualification tests, so they might end up releasing support later. That’s the case for Windows Server 2019.

I’m just happy with being able to deploy patches for now. OSD worked ever since it provided support for the updated MDT bundle. It being so similar to 2016/10 makes it easier and also harder.

Any update on this - Windows Server 2019 as the Main Bigfix Server

Additionally, MS SQL Server Database for the Bigfix Server version? Do we have support for MS SQL 2017 and MS SQL 2019 as the DB Server for Bigfix?
