Description

Version 8.0.627.0 of the BigFix Enterprise Suite is now available!

The latest version of the BES Client provides several enhancements and fixes. This Fixlet message will upgrade BES Clients on all targeted computers.

You must upgrade your BES Relays before upgrading your BES Clients.

Note:
This Fixlet message will only become relevant on computers after the BES Server has been upgraded. It may take several hours for the BES Clients to notice that the BES Server is upgraded.

Note: It is recommended that you run this upgrade targeted to "All Computers" rather than to "Specific Computers" so that all old BES Clients will get upgraded.

Note: This upgrade may take several minutes to run because the BES Client service will be restarted as part of the upgrade process and the BES Clients will not report their action results right away.

Note: This client runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 5), Fedora Core (releases 6, 7), Oracle Enterprise (release 5), and CentOS (release 5) on an x86 processor.
