[Announcements for BES Administrators]

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.
