Description

Version 7.2 of the BigFix Enterprise Suite is now available!

BigFix Enterprise Suite 7.2 contains a number of powerful new features and performance optimizations. BigFix 7.2.5 is a patch update to the previous 7.2 release. The most important changes are BigFix Agent changes to address a number of issues in the BESClientUI. All BigFix 7.2.5 components are forward and backwards compatible with all other 7.2.x components and can be upgraded in any order. We recommend for customers running 7.1.x, 7.0.x, or 6.0.x versions to upgrade in the order specified below. All customers are recommended to upgrade to 7.2.5 for the latest fixes, updates, and enhancements. This Fixlet message will upgrade all BES Servers and Consoles on the targeted computers. Click the link below for more information on changes in BES 7.2.

Please take a few moments to read through all of the upgrade material available before attempting the upgrade. Depending on the details of your deployment, the full upgrade process can take a while and BES will not be usable during the upgrade process.

Please use the following upgrade path to upgrade to BES 7.2 (upgrading in a different order may lead to problems):

  1. BES Server and BES Console: Upgrade all BES Server and BES Console components at the same time with this Fixlet message (if they are upgraded separately, you will not be able to connect with the BES Console).
  2. BES Relays: Upgrade all the BES Relays using another Fixlet message that will become relevant for all old BES Relays. Please upgrade the BES Relays before the BES Clients.
  3. BES Clients: The BES Clients will notice that the BES Server is updated and will begin to report the upgrade Fixlet message relevant (the BES Clients by default check once per six hours for the version of the BES Server). It is recommended that you target the BES Client upgrade Fixlet message at "All Computers" instead of "Specific Computers" to make sure to upgrade all BES Clients who have not yet reported.

If you have any issues during the upgrade, you may want to review the manual upgrade instructions below to help resolve the issues.

Note: If the BES Console is open while the BES Console upgrade installer is run, the upgrade will not be complete until the computer is restarted.

Important Note: BigFix recommends that you run this upgrade targeted to the BES Server and all relevant computers. Consoles that are not upgraded at the same time as the server will be unable to communicate with the upgraded server.

Important Note: If the BES Console is open while the BES Server upgrade installer is running, the user may experience an error or a dialog that asks the user to shut down the BES Console. The user would have to exit the BES Console, and then re-open the BES Console again after the upgrade has completed on the BES Server. Please deploy this action at a time when this service interruption is acceptable.

Important Note: If you are using database replication on the BES database, you must disable the replication before upgrading the BES Server.
