Description

Version 6.0.28 of the BES Server is now available!

BigFix highly recommends that you upgrade to this version of BES as it provides several critical security and bug fixes to the initial 6.0 release.

The latest version of the BES Server provides several enhancements and fixes including a critical security fix that was a result of a formal security audit and code review. Due to the nature of the security changes, BigFix recommends upgrading whenever possible. This Fixlet message will upgrade all BES Servers on the targeted computers.

BES 6.0.28 components are fully compatible with earlier BES 6.0.x components, so the BES Server, Relays, Consoles, and Clients can be upgraded in any order. Please contact BigFix Technical Support (enterprisesupport@bigfix.com) if you have any questions regarding this upgrade.

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.
