| @jgstew - Just came across these and figure they are applicable: - https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Endpoint%20Manager/page/Client%20Refresh%20and%20Reset - https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS2TKN_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Action/c_notify_client_forcerefresh.html Based on the activity I see in the client logs, this action forces a full report to be sent (as per the documentation) and it seems to grab the latest version of the actionsite. | |

| I believe this forces the client to update all properties, but I don't believe it does the equivalent of a UDP notification or a command poll, though I could be wrong about that. | |
