[BESAdmin-Announcements] *NEW* Synchronization Wizard & DISA Windows Update

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager for Security and Compliance 

Security Configuration Management (SCM)

***Announcement*** New Synchronization Wizard for Custom Checklists

IBM is pleased to announce a new wizard for owners of the Security and 
Compliance product in the Endpoint Manager family. 

This Custom Checklist Synchronization wizard allows an administrator to 
easily synchronize a custom security checklist with the IBM-provided 
checklist that was used as the source material. In the past an 
administrator could not easily update custom checklists when the original 
source material had changed. This new tool will automatically flag checks 
that are out-of-sync and will update all of the out-of-sync checks with a 
single action. Custom parameterization settings are preserved and do not 
have to be recreated.

The new wizard is contained within the "SCM Reporting" site and can be 
found in the Security Configuration domain in the Endpoint Manager Console 
application. Look in the navigation tree under "Configuration Management 
-> Checklists Tools" for the "Synchronize Custom Checks" wizard. A link to 
the Quick Start guide can be found HERE.
In addition, all DISA Windows checklists have been updated to support use 
with the Synchronization Wizard.
