Automatic Pattern Updates

Procedure

  1. Check the console to verify if any CPM servers require action for Core Protection Module > Warnings.
  2. Check on the server that the Task, Core Protection Module - Set ActiveUpdate Server Pattern Update Interval has been created and run. This task should be set to automatically reapply at a frequent interval (often, this is hourly), and it should not be restricted in any way that would conflict with the action.
  3. Check on the server that the Task, Core Protection Module - Apply Automatic Updates has been run and that the Action has successfully completed.
  4. On the CPM server, the user account must be in place for the propagation site. The PropagateManifest registry key must be set to 1:
    • For 32-bit endpoints:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BigFix\CPM\server
    • For 64-bit endpoints:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\CPM\server
  5. For CPM clients that have been enabled for automatic updates, the EnableAutoUpdate registry key must be set to 1:
    • For 32-bit endpoints:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BigFix\CPM\client
    • For 64-bit endpoints:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\CPM\client
  6. Check for endpoints that need to rollback components using Core Protection Module - Clear Rollback Flag.
