System requirements

BigFix supports security and non-security updates for Microsoft and third-party operating systems and applications.

Types of supported updates

BigFix supports the following types of Windows updates.

Security update
Refers to security-related vulnerabilities.
Cumulative update
Refers to updates that contain all the previously released updates up to that update release. If you have installed previous updates, only the new fixes that are contained in this package will be downloaded and installed to your computer.
Non-security update
Refers to all other updates that are not included in the security updates type. There are several types of non-security updates. For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/.
BigFix supports the following non-security updates:
Critical update
Refers to widely released fixes to address bugs that are critical but not related to security.
Service pack
Refers to cumulative set of security, critical, and general updates. Service packs might also contain hot fixes or additional fixes that were found internally since the last release. In some cases, service packs also contain design or feature changes that were requested by customers.
Update
Refers to widely released fixes to address bugs that are not critical or not related to security.
Note: BigFix generally provides support for updates that are found in the Microsoft Update Catalog. In some instances, the updates require users to directly download the links. For more information, see https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/home.aspx. This link requires the use of Internet Explorer.
Update rollup
Refers to updates that target a specific area, for example security or a product component. Update rollup is a cumulative set of hot fixes, security updates, critical updates, and updates that are packaged for easy deployment.
Note: BigFix generally provides support for updates that are found in the Microsoft Update Catalog. In some instances, the updates require users to directly download the links. For more information, see https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/home.aspx. This link requires the use of Internet Explorer.

To learn more about the standard terminology that Microsoft uses, see http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/824684.

BigFix tries to stay close to the terms that the vendors use, such as the Microsoft patch category terminology. In some instances, Microsoft and BigFix use different category terms. For more information, see https://bigfix-wiki.hcltechsw.com/wikis/home?lang=en-us#!/wiki/BigFix%20Wiki/page/Difference%20in%20category%20terms%20used%20by%20Microsoft%20and%20BigFix.

Products that have reached their end of support date

Microsoft products have a lifecycle that ends when the product is no longer supported. When a product reaches end of life (EOL) or its end of support date, Microsoft no longer supports and releases updates for the product, including automatic fixes, updates, and online technical assistance.

BigFix, in turn, no longer provides security and non-security content and support for products that reached its end of support date. However, users of existing Windows content can use the standard HCL support channels to raise concerns and for troubleshooting support.

Microsoft provides extended support for some products that have reached their end of life. If you signed for extended support with Microsoft, it is suggested that you contact your HCL account representative. To see information about product offerings, see https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm.
