ENS 10.6.1 December 2019 Release

[Glenn_Bolton]

This was incorrectly posted and has now been updated. Thank you. I recently updated 600 non production servers to the ENS November 2019 update and experienced several "Blue Screen issues" during the upgrade. Since I have not yet updated my production environment, I am looking at the December release (which seems to address a number of issues.) In addition, the November release is no longer available. I am trying to determine why the November 2019 update for ENS 10.6.1 was pulled and is the December release considered a stable version? I am asking because the December 2019 release is not simply a Hot Fix. Much appreciated.

Hi @Glenn_Bolton,

November 2019 update was not pulled, as there was not a release in November this year. The release prior to the December 2019 release was the October update, following the two month release cycle.

Thank you,

Thank you for responding and my apologies for this.

Thank you again. My original posting was meant to reference the December 2019 update for ENS 10.6.1. I previously updated my QA environment (560 devices) in November and applied the October 2019 update for ENS. I did not apply this to the EVAL branch of my production EPO environment (23,000 devices) and now it is presently unavailable. Testing was completed for QA but now I may need to start all over again. Is the current December 2019 release a stable release so far? I have read through the Release notes, but I usually gauge my decision to upgrade based on feedback, postings and knowledgebase searches. Thank you.

Hi @Glenn_Bolton,

Thank you for your response here. From Tech Support, based on my 2 week observation in the Service Requests logged, I have not really come across any major concerns with respect to ENS 10.6.1 December update. Having said that, as you said, It is always best to test them on a test setup before deploying them to production environment!

There is a confirmed issue that causing the Active Response client to crash after applying the ENS December 10.6.1 update.  

I would stay away from this one if you run Active Response in your environment.

Thank you. I am not running Active Response, but I will be implementing ATP in the next few weeks. Much appreciated.
