[BESAdmin-Announcements] [BES Support] Content Modification Announcement - Location Property Wizard, Deployment Health Check Dashboard

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

BigFix has changed content in the BES Support site.

The Location Property Wizard has changed its behavior to allow more efficient targeting by location. Previously the Wizard created:

1. a temporary action that sets a setting
2. a retrieved property that does not look at the setting but evaluates the same relevance as the action

The Wizard now creates:

1. a policy action that sets a client setting to a location string based on subnet (or other criteria)
2. a retrieved property that reads the client setting


The Deployment Health Checks Dashboard has a new Health Check that detects inefficient properties created by the previous version of the Location Property Wizard.

Also, the Number of Clients on Main BES Server & Number of Relays on Main BES Server counts in the Deployment Health Checks Dashboard have been fixed.



BES Support published version: 566

BES administrators are encouraged to verify open actions and synchronize baselines that contain the modified content.  Instructions for synchronizing baselines can be found here: http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=401.  Please contact BigFix Technical Support if you have any questions regarding this change.
