IBM Endpoint Manager ends provision of security and non-security updates 
with Windows XP EOL

Windows XP reached its end of life last April 8, 2014. Microsoft has ended 
support for Windows XP and will no longer be issuing security updates nor 
technical support. Microsoft suggests that partners and customers migrate 
to a current supported operating system to protect computers from 
malicious attacks. 

IBM Endpoint Manager, in turn, will no longer provide security and 
non-security content and support for Windows XP. However, users of 
existing Windows XP content can still go through the standard IBM support 
channels to raise concerns and for troubleshooting support. Customers who 
signed contracts with Microsoft for extended support for Windows XP are 
suggested to get in touch with your IBM account representative to get 
future support for IBM Endpoint Manager for Windows XP patching.

To detect Windows XP machines, you can use Fixlet ID 353: Microsoft 
Unsupported: Windows XP, which is published in Patching Support site 
version 210.

Actions to Take: 
Use Fixlet ID 353: Microsoft Unsupported: Windows XP to detect Windows XP 
machines. This Fixlet is found in Patching Support site version 210.

Published Site Version: 
Patching Support site version 210.
