[Announcements for BES Administrators]

BigFix OS Deployment and Bare Metal Imaging site has been updated.

New OSD Bare Metal Server version  312.2 is available.


***Content available:***

***New Windows Bundle for OS Deployment ** *

HCL BigFix is proud to announce that a new Windows Bundle is now available
and can replace the legacy MDT Bundle for managing Windows operating system
deployment.

This is another example of how HCL BigFix helps to protect customer
investments from market shifts while optimizing their return on investment.
This new Windows Bundle can be used for *Windows bare metal deployments,
re-imaging deployments and for image captures*.

Customers can use either the legacy MDT Bundle or our new Windows Bundle
solution.

***Please note** *


   - The new Windows Bundle relies on a different technology based on
   PowerShell scripts, so any customizations made in the legacy MDT Bundle
   (based on VisualBasic scripts) are not compatible with the new Windows
   Bundle.
   - The legacy MDT Bundle will continue to function as long as customers
   can download the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) from the Microsoft
   website. However, please note that HCL BigFix will not release any new
   updates or fixes for the legacy MDT Bundle.


***Other updates***

- Added support for deploying Windows 11 25H2.

- End of Support Notice: Support for OSD on RHEL 6 and SLES 11 has ended.
This is the last OSD release that will work on these operating systems. No
further updates or fixes will be released for OSD on RHEL 6 or SLES 11.
