[BESAdmin-Announcements] BigFix WebUI update for Patch Policies published 2017-11-27

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM BigFix is pleased to announce an update to the WebUI Patch Policy 
feature. This release contains an enhancement to the Patch Policy 
schedules, allowing users to better configure and control the behavior of 
automatic patch executions.

These configurations can now be set according to your individual needs:
- Pre-caching mechanism allowing required files to be downloaded prior to 
patching
- Stagger patching start time to reduce network load
- Patching behavior in relation to patching failures
- Force restart endpoints after patching

These new features give the console operator the ability to quickly deploy 
patches and restore the endpoints to the desired security state.

Actions to Take:
Update the Patch Policies application site to version 4 from the 
Application Update Manager. For information about the Application Update 
Manager, see https://ibm.co/2A6BMeZ.

We hope you find them useful.
