IBM is pleased to announce an update to Tivoli Endpoint Manager Windows Software Distribution. Tivoli Endpoint Manager Software Distribution, which is part of the Lifecycle Management suite, provides a high performance package library and automation toolkit for endpoint administrators managing Windows workstations and servers.
New Features
- “Follow the User” targeting of installs – Use the new Active Directory inspectors to target software installations based on the logged on user’s security groups or OUs, or the computer’s security groups or OUs, or combinations of those attributes. See http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=1805 and http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=1757 for more information. Tivoli Endpoint Manager Platform 8.1 is required.
- SPB Support – Import and deploy Tivoli SPB packages for Windows systems. This capability relies on the “Client Manager for TCM” site, which is available to Lifecycle Management customers. See http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=1804 for more information.
Published site versions:
Software Distribution, version 2
Client Manager for TCM, version 3
Actions to Take:
Lifecycle Management customers on 8.x platforms will see the new Client Manager for TCM site under BigFix Management > License Overview. This site should be subscribed to the TEM Server and any Windows workstations which need to manage SPB packages.
