Hi,

for some reason, some hotfixes released by Microsoft do not appeat on my Bigfix console.

i am searching the “all fixlet message” for these articles (for example: KB942840, KB936357), and although they were published long ago (KB942840’s release date is 26.11.07, for example) they do not appear on the BES console.

any idea why? and of course, how can i fix it?

thanks,

Shlomi

Hi Shlomi,

Sometimes when updates are superseded by other updates, we will eventually remove the old superseded Fixlet (we announce this when we remove them). Also, remember that BigFix’s “Patches for Windows” Fixlet site only provides security and security-related patches and major updates like Service Packs, cumulative updates, etc.
