<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Consolas, Courier New, Courier"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10pt'>BigFix has modified an analysis in the BigFix DSS Software Asset Management site. The Installed Application Information (Windows) analysis has been updated to accommodate additional variability in how Microsoft products may be installed or upgraded on computers running the Microsoft Windows OS.<BR>
<BR>
DSS SAM application administrators should ensure your BigFix server has gathered the latest version of the content site and then follow these steps to ensure your DSS SAM inventory is up-to-date:<BR>
<BR>
1) Go to the DSS SAM Control Panel and then to the Platform Datasources tab and select and Reset Import Sequences. (This will keep all tracking data intact while re-generating your software and hardware inventory reports with the latest information. There is no impact to your endpoints; this is simply a fresh import from the BigFix server database).<BR>
<BR>
2) Also in the DSS SAM Control Panel, go to the Import Options tab and click Run Now to import the latest data (or you may choose to wait for the next scheduled import, per your import schedule).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
In addition, BES administrators are encouraged to verify open actions and synchronize baselines that contain the modified content. Instructions for synchronizing baselines can be found here: <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><U><a href="http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=401">http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=401</a></U></FONT>.
