WIndows Server 2012 Release 1 Client Agent for 10.0.5.50

Usage and Config Platform
1

Hi Team. I have a question. We recently upgraded our BigFix management servers to 10.0.5.50. In the downloads section, the installer for the Windows agent says it only supports Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. However, I was able to install it on a Windows Server 2012 R1 server. Does anyone know if the agent supports 2012 R1? I have a several 2012 R1 systems and need to know if I should upgrade these agents or not.

Thank you team!
Tony

Working and supported are different things.

If the agent isn’t supported, you won’t be able to get support if you open a ticket.

My preference is to run the latest supported agent - progressing beyond that gains little (although you may have relevance that uses inspectors not available on the older agent).

The choice is yours though, to evaluate the risks and benefits.
