IBM BigFix Patches for Windows now supports the Windows 10 feature upgrades
for the Education, Enterprise, Professional editions and their N variants.

In this release, BigFix Patch offers the custom repository feature. Users
can download the Microsoft ISO image to their own  custom repository before
deploying the Windows 10 Feature Upgrades Fixlets. For more information

 • Editions: Education, Enterprise, Professional, Education N, Enterprise
 N, Professional N
 • Architecture: x86, x64
 • Languages : English and Japanese
 • Custom repository feature

 What should I do before deploying the Fixlets?
 • Ensure that there is sufficient hard disk space.
 • Check the .iso file size and if needed, increase your endpoints'
 pre-cache and normal download limits using the following configuration
 settings:
       _BESClient_Download_PreCacheStageDiskLimitMB
      _BESClient_Download_NormalStageDiskLimitMB
• You have the option to use a custom repository from which the Wndows 10
ISO image is downloaded.

 Note: The downloading process of Windows 10 Feature Upgrade Fixlets is
 usually larger than 4GB, and is affected by APAR  IV84436 in version 9.5.
 The Fix that addresses this APAR is available on Fixpack 2, which is
 targeted to be  available in Q2 2016 (availability is subject to change).
