Applicability Fixlets

Learn about concepts and the work process in Configuration Management.

Each Windows™ and Web browser checklist includes Applicability Fixlets based on the checklist requirements. For example, in the DISA STIG Checklist Windows 2022, the following Applicability Fixlets are available:

Applicability - HKU
Applicability - Microsoft Windows Server 2022
Applicability - Windows Domain Controller
Applicability - Windows Domain Member or Standalone Server
Applicability - Windows Domain Member Server
Applicability - Windows Not Server Core Installation

These Fixlets work with HCL BigFix Compliance to determine whether endpoints subscribed to the checklist meet the required conditions. A Fixlet is relevant only for applicable endpoints and remains irrelevant otherwise. To optimize performance, site subscriptions should be limited to applicable endpoints.

Note: The number of Applicability Fixlets may vary depending on checklist requirements.
