[BESAdmin-Announcements] BigFix Remote Control 10.1 FP4 is now available

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

HCL BigFix is pleased to announce several key enhancements to BigFix Remote
Control, designed to improve security, usability, and reliability for
remote support and administration.


*Elevate privileges to run command tools*
Operators can now add custom command tools to the Controller and run them
with elevated privileges. This enhancement allows execution of commands on
the Target system even when the end user lacks sufficient permissions. The
system now supports starting a process under a different user account with
elevated rights, ensuring secure operations through a credential
authorization panel.

*Improved chat session experience*
Users can now pin the chat session window directly into the main Controller
interface for a more streamlined experience or choose to keep it as a
separate, detached window for flexibility.

*Customizable Controller window title*
It is now possible to rename the Controller’s main window title, allowing
easier identification when multiple sessions are active.

*Automatic session re-establishment after manual reboot*
When a manual reboot of the Target machine occurs, the Controller will
automatically re-establish the remote session. This functionality is
available for Windows Targets with the installed agent and is not supported
for On Demand Targets.

*Additional platform support*

   - Added support for macOS 26 (Tahoe).
   - Added support for Windows 11 25H2.
