I am unable to locate any of the April 2025 Microsoft Kbs or fixlets for this month. I have show Hidden Content and show Non-Relevant Content enabled so I should be able to see any content if its out there but its like it hasn’t even been pushed out from the BigFix main servers.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Eric
Eric, can you tell us the version of the Patches for Windows site that you see in the BigFix Console ?
The current version is 4525 which was published on 04/11
Sure I’m on version 11.0.3.82
I’m asking for that specific Patch site version.
Sorry my apologies its version 4,510
Ok, so it has not gathered the current Patch content. I recommend that you check the GatherDB.log on the Root Server to identify any errors with the gather.
Is this Root Server air-gapped, and you need to use the Download cacher to update content ?
With version 11.0.3 you have enhanced security enabled.
A couple years ago we had an issue with the site certificate, and that issue prevented downloading new content for that site only. We had to open a ticket with HCL to get the certificate issue resolved.
I would recommend opening a ticket with HCL.
It could also be an expired license.
The GatherDB.log file states the following:

But what is odd is the FillDB.log file states the following:
